According to the data released by the Japan iron and Steel Union (JISF), the export volume of Japanese steel in the second quarter of 2020 A709 grade 50S bridge steel plate is about 4.959 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 14.2%; the export volume in the first half of 2020 is about 11.07 million tons, with a year-on-year growth of 1.8%. It has been revealed that the year-on-year increase in export volume does not mean that Japan's export A709 grade 50S bridge steel plate situation of Pugang is better in the first half of the year, but only because the base number of the same period last year is too low.
The strengthening mechanisms in metals mainly include solid solution strengthening, dislocation strengthening, fine grain strengthening, and second phase (precipitation and dispersion) strengthening. Alloying elements have the most significant strengthening effect on steel in the quenched and tempered state, because it makes full use of all four strengthening mechanisms. Martensite is formed during quenching, and carbides are precipitated during tempering, resulting in a strong second phase strengthening and greatly improving toughness. Therefore, obtaining martensite and tempering it is the most economical and effective comprehensive strengthening method for A709 grade 50S bridge steel plate.
There are a lot of ASTM standards for pressure vessel steel plates. Such as ASTM A204, A285, A302, A387, A515, A516, A517, A537, A612, A841, etc. Those ASTM steel plates have different thickness ranges. A709 grade 50S bridge steel plate, ASTM A204 plates shall not thicker than 150mm. ASTM A285 plates shall not thicker than 50mm. ASTM A515 plates shall not thicker than 200mm. ASTM A517 plates and A537 plates shall not thicker than 150mm. ASTM A612 plates shall not thicker than 25mm. ASTM A841 plates shall not thicker than 100mm.
