Flat steel is a kind of steel with rectangular cross-section and blunt edges at the edges and corners. It is usually 12-300 mm wide and 3-60 mm thick. Compared with S460ML plate sheet ordinary steel plate, the utilization rate of flat steel is increased by one to five percentage points. Moreover, flat steel can be produced with fixed thickness, width and length according to the user's requirements, which saves the cutting process for users, reduces the consumption of labor and materials, and also reduces the processing loss of raw materials, saving time, labor and material.
According to the data released by the world iron and Steel Association, the world pig iron production in March 2020 was 103 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 3.5%, a year-on-year increase of 1.8% in February, and the overseas pig iron S460ML plate sheet production excluding China was 36.309 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 11%.
The company's headquarters has a well-established logistics distribution system, which can quickly transport the steel materials to the port through the contracted logistics companies. Professional contracted logistics companies can significantly reduce costs and various commodity-related expenses. Meanwhile, the flexible transfer ensures that the S460ML plate sheet steel materials can be shipped immediately after passing the quality inspection.
The tensile strength of A36 steel plate is 58-80 Ksi (about 400-550MPa), and the yield strength is 36 Ksi (about 250MPa); the tensile strength of Q235 steel plate is 370-500 MPa, and the yield strength is 235MPa; the tensile strength of SS400 steel plate is 400-510MPa, and the yield strength is 245MPa. For the mechanical properties of S460ML plate sheet, SS400 steel plate and Q235 steel plate, the thickness of steel plate is less than 16mm. It can be seen from the above data that ASME A36 and Chinese Q235 are named after the yield strength of the material, while SS400 is named after the tensile strength of the material.
