Vanadium is a weak deoxidizer. Adding vanadium into ASTM A572 high strength steel steel can reduce the adverse effects of carbon and nitrogen, effectively improve the strength, but sometimes also increase the tendency of welding hardening, vanadium is also a commonly used trace alloy element.
The yield point of the steel structure determines the stress that the structure can withstand without permanent deformation. The minimum yield point of typical carbon structural steel is 235MPa. The minimum yield point of typical low-alloy high-strength steel is 345MPa. Therefore, according to the proportional relationship of its yield point, the use of low-alloy high-strength steel allows the stress to be 1.4 times higher than that of carbon structural steel. Compared with ASTM A572 high strength steel, carbon structural steel, the use of low-alloy high-strength steel can reduce the size of structural parts and reduce weight.
Steel prices in Europe are under downward pressure due to temporary shutdowns by auto makers in most of Europe and the disruption of trade flows due to reduced trade activity in the construction and other steel industries. Despite the import safeguard measures adopted in Europe, some key steel prices have reached a three-year low in 2019. At that time, the European market was oversupplied. Despite the import safeguard plan, the imports to the European Union remained at a historical high, and now the ASTM A572 high strength steel and so on steel price is even close to the level of 2009.
