ASTM A588 heavy plate, Q960 steel plate can be used for cold working, bending and cutting. During gas cutting, cracks will not occur even without preheating. When preheating, Q960 quenched and tempered steel should be processed below tempering temperature. Compared with ordinary steel, Q960 quenched and tempered steel has good corrosion resistance, high hardness and good wear resistance.
It can be predicted that in 2019, the national steel market quotation will not appear unilateral quotation, rebar ASTM A588 heavy plate steel main contract price of the largest shock range (the lowest price to the highest price), it is possible to reach as much as 1000 yuan this is the New Year's Chinese steel market quotation of the first characteristic. The second characteristic of Chinese steel market quotation in 2019 is that the average ASTM A588 heavy plate steel price of the whole year is roughly flat with the level of the previous year, or it is to rise somewhat, generally there will be no annual average price decline.
For ASTM A588 heavy plate buyers, the impact of the rise and fall of ASTM A588 heavy plate prices is great. Because of the large amount of ASTM A588 heavy plate purchases and the large amount of funds involved, many ASTM A588 heavy plate purchasers will carefully consider the price issue, and some ASTM A588 heavy plate purchasers who are far away will also consider the freight issue. When the price of ASTM A588 heavy plate overall drops, a large number of ASTM A588 heavy plate buyers will hoard in large quantities. When ASTM A588 heavy plate prices rise, we should predict and stock up appropriately.
Myanmar's demand for ASTM A588 heavy plate steel products is likely to exceed 3 million tons in 2020 and 5 million tons by 2025, according to seaisi. However, Myanmar's producers are unable to meet domestic demand, so the country's steel products are more dependent on imports. In 2019, Myanmar imported more than 1.9 million tons of ASTM A588 heavy plate finished steel, including 57% of long products, 13% of uncoated hot-rolled and cold-rolled flat products, and 30% of coated steel. In order to reduce its dependence on imports, Myanmar plans to increase its steel production capacity by building and expanding steel mills.
