A36 is American Standard ASTM material, SS400 is Japanese Standard JIS g3101 steel material for general structure, Q235 is Chinese standard GB700 material. The limitation of the content of the Mn element differs depending on the thickness of the A36 steel plate, and the A36 steel plate of 20 mm or less does not contain Mn. The ASTM A709 bridge steel plate, Q235 steel plate has requirements for the contents of C, Si, Mn, S, P and other elements. But SS400 steel plate only requires S and P to be less than 0.050, and no other element requirements.
Hot Rolled Plates Products TestingBBN STEEL can supply many tests and analysis done to examine them before and after the manufacturing. As the ASTM A709 bridge steel plate raw material is fetched by us the steel undergoes vacuum treatment, product analysis, additional tensile test, simulated post weld heat treatment, and impact test. After the steel is converted to steel plates they undergo the drop-weight test, hot tensile test, ultrasonic test, the practical examination through examination, and the vacuum carbon deoxidized steel."
In the past 10 years, domestically-made offshore platform steel has been widely adopted in China's offshore oil projects, and offshore platform steel has gradually developed in the direction of high strength. Relevant data show that the pile legs, pile boots, cantilever beams and other key parts of the jack-up platform require high load. In order to improve the stability of the hull during towing after floating, it needs to be lightweight, and high-strength steel plates must be used.
According to different purposes, the thin steel sheets are rolled from billets of different materials. Commonly used materials include plain carbon steel, such as ASTM A709 bridge steel plate, high-quality carbon steel, alloy structural steel, carbon tool steel, stainless steel, spring steel, and silicon steel for electrical purposes. The thin steel sheets are mainly used in the automobile industry, aviation industry, enamel industry, electrical industry, machinery industry and other sectors. In addition to delivery directly after rolling, there are also pickled, galvanized and tinned thin steel sheets.
