On November 25, the price of the ASTM A36 mild steel plates medium board in the Yinchuan market remained stable temporarily, and the market transactions were average. As of press time, Yinchuan market 16-25mm general medium plate is 4020 yuan/ton; 14-25mm low alloy medium plate is 4170 yuan/ton. The price of plate in Yinchuan market continued to stabilize without much change. However, as the temperature dropped sharply and terminal demand in the local market dropped to a low point, plate merchants in the Yinchuan market had difficulty shipping.
ASTM A36 mild steel plates, Chinese material Q235B is one of the most widely used carbon steel in the world. Some like to compare its strength with other equivalent steel grades. We need to take care that the Q235B steel strength varies with thickness. For the min. yield strength of Q235B steel plate: it is 235Mpa if thickness ≤16mm, 225 Mpa for thickness 16-40mm, 215 Mpa for thickness 40-60mm, 205 Mpa for thickness 60-100mm, 195 Mpa for thickness 100-150mm, 185 Mpa for thickness over 150mm. The tensile strength of Q235B steel plate is 375-500 Mpa.
After extrusion, the ASTM A36 mild steel plates tube shall be removed for sizing. The sizing machine uses a cone-shaped bit to rotate into the steel embryo at high speed to drill holes to form steel pipes. The inner diameter of the steel pipe is determined by the outer diameter length of the drill bit of the sizing machine. After sizing, the steel pipe will enter the cooling tower and be cooled by water spray. After cooling, the steel pipe will be straightened. After straightening, the steel pipe is sent to the metal flaw detector (or hydraulic test) by the conveyor belt for internal flaw detection.
BBN Steel has contracted a batch of special-shaped ASTM A36 mild steel plates products, which have been successfully delivered recently after efficient processing. It is understood that the customer has a very tight schedule and needs to deliver before the Spring Festival. After many searches and investigations, he finally took a fancy to BBN Steel's machining capabilities, so the technical docking was carried out immediately and production was scheduled soon.
