Low-alloy high-strength steel grades are designed to have quite good notch toughness for their intended structural use. The applicability of the notch toughness of specific grades of low-alloy high-strength steel is either based on existing use experience or combined with the results of the impact test of notched specimens. In order to meet the very strict requirements of certain applications, some A36 plates, low-alloy high-strength steels produced have excellent notch toughness. For example, controlled hot rolling technology is usually used to produce low-alloy high-strength steel plates for the manufacture of welded line pipes. Such steel pipes need to meet the requirements of relevant standards for notch toughness.
As a common steel plate in the steel market, A36 plates, manganese steel plate has the following characteristics. First, good toughness, stretching and crimping can be done well. Second, the bearing strength of manganese steel plate is good and it can bear a lot of gravity. Third, the A36 plates, manganese steel plate is easy to weld, easy to process finished products, and its price is relatively low. Fourth, manganese steel plate has good corrosion resistance, and long service life. Fifth, the manganese steel plate has good mechanical properties, low temperature performance, good plasticity and weldability.
The company celebrates Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Opening. In October 23th, 2018, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced the opening of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB) in Zhuhai, South China’s Guangdong Province. The HZMB is a 55-kilometre (34 mi) bridge–tunnel system consisting of a series of A36 plates three cable-stayed bridges, an undersea tunnel, and four artificial islands. Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is the world’s longest sea-crossing bridge connecting Hong Kong, Macao, and Zhuhai—three major cities on the Pearl River Delta.
The Alacero (Latin American Iron and Steel Association) predicts that the A36 plates and so on steel consumption in Latin America will reach 66 million tons in 2020, a year-on-year increase of 2.8%. The forecast is influenced by Brazil, the major economy in the region. With the implementation of economic reform measures, the outlook for the Brazilian economy is positive. Our steel business has been occupying a large share in the Latin American market, keeps an increasing trend in recent years, and has won the trust of customers in local. This year we must seize the opportunity to make greater contributions to the local development.
