Advantages of hot rolling: hot rolling can destroy the casting structure of ingot, refine the grain of steel and eliminate the defects of microstructure, so that the steel structure is dense and the mechanical properties are improved. This improvement is mainly reflected in the rolling direction, so that the A588 grade K structural steel plate steel is no longer isotropic to some extent; the bubbles, cracks and looseness formed during pouring can also be welded under the action of high temperature and pressure.

A588 grade K structural steel plate, St52-3 steel is a low alloy, high strength structural steel which can be readily welded to other weldable steel. St52-3 steel's mechanical properties is yield strength more than 355 MPa, tensile strength 490-630Mpa. For St52-3 steel, the C element content is 0.24%, the Si element content is 0.55% max, the Mn element content is 1.60% max, the P element content is 0.045% max, the S element content is 0.045% max.
According to the latest statistics of alacero, the consumption of finished steel A588 grade K structural steel plate products in Latin America in 2019 was 64.2 million tons, down 5% from 67.6 million tons in 2018. The decline in steel consumption in the region reflects the economic contraction of Latin American countries, especially the three major economies: Mexico, Argentina and Brazil.
