The clad steel plate is a bimetallic plate that uses ordinary carbon structural steel, high-quality carbon structural steel and low alloy steel as the base (base layer).Then use stainless acid-resistant and heat-resistant steel as the surface layer (multilayer). It is mainly used to manufacture structural parts and containers that are resistant to acids, alkalis, atmosphere and corrosive media. The main grades of clad steel plate: 0Cr19Ni9, 1Cr19Ni9, 00Cr19Ni11, 0Cr17Ni12MO2, 0Cr18Ni11Nb (the above is austenitic), 1Cr13, 0Cr13, 2Cr13, S420ML plate, 3Cr13.
In February, the North American steel price index was 171.2 points, up 4.6 points on a month on month basis, up 2.8%; the U.S. manufacturing PMI was 50.1%, down 0.8 percentage points on a month on month basis. Among them, the production index decreased by 4.0 percentage points, and the inventory index decreased by 2.3 percentage points; at the end of February, the utilization rate of crude steel production capacity in the United States was 82.5%, 0.2 percentage points higher than that in the previous month. This month, the ex factory prices of major steel products such as S420ML plate in the Midwest steel works of the United States rebounded. Except for the steel prices remained stable, the prices of other steel products rose.
Medium and thick plates S420ML plate are mostly used in construction engineering, machinery manufacturing, container manufacturing, shipbuilding, bridge construction, etc. Medium and thick plates can also be used to make all kinds of containers, furnace shells, furnace plates, automobile static steel plates and so on. Among them, shipbuilding steel plate is used to make marine and inland ships. The shipbuilding steel plate S420ML plate is required to have high strength, plasticity, toughness, good cold bending performance, welding performance and corrosion resistance.
By Region: data shows that in the first quarter of Asia, crude steel S420ML plate production was 315.2 million tons, down 0.3% year on year. Crude steel production in the EU region in the first quarter was 38.3 million tons, down 10.0% year on year. The output of crude steel in North America in the first quarter was 29.5 million tons, down 4.0% year on year.
