Steel strip is a branch of steel plate. Steel strip is a kind of narrow and long steel plate, also known as strip steel, ASTM A572 CS steel carbon plate produced by various steel rolling enterprises to meet the needs of different industrial departments and industrial production of various metal or mechanical products. The width of steel strip is within 1300mm, and the length is slightly different according to the size of each roll. Generally, ASTM A572 CS steel carbon plate steel strip is supplied in coils, with the advantages of high dimensional accuracy, good surface quality, easy processing and material saving. The steel strip is a kind of steel with large output, wide use and many varieties.
The main raw material of ASTM A572 CS steel carbon plate, hot rolling coil is billet. After heating the billet, the strip made from the coarse and fine rolling mill is cooled to a certain temperature by specific cooling, and then the cooled steel strip is made into rolled steel strip by coiler. But generally, according to the buyer's demand, the manufacturer can further process the cooled steel strip into steel plate or flat coil and other products.
According to the economic development trend in Asia and the economic development of China, India, Japan and ASEAN, it is estimated that the steel consumption in Asia will be 1228 million tons in 2019, with a year-on-year growth of 6.6%; the ASTM A572 CS steel carbon plate steel demand in Asia in 2020 is predicted to be 1.241 billion tons, with a year-on-year growth of 1.1%. According to the ASTM A572 CS steel carbon plate economic development of Europe, it is estimated that the steel consumption in Europe will be 202 million tons in 2019, with a year-on-year decrease of 3.3%; the steel demand in Europe in 2020 is predicted to be 205 million tons, with a year-on-year growth of 1.5%.
