Cold-rolled sheet is mainly used in the manufacturing of household appliances, automobiles, agricultural machinery, etc., as well as the raw material for the base plate of galvanized sheet and tin-plated sheet and thin-wall welded pipe. For stamping grade cold rolled sheet, deep drawing, extra deep drawing and ultra deep drawing grade cold rolled sheet, the steel grades are Q195, Q215, Q235, SPCC, St12, St13, St14. Cold rolled plate: SPCCT-SD, A709 Gr 100 bridge steel plate, SPCC, SPCE, DC01, DC03, DC04, DC05.
Consumption of A709 Gr 100 bridge steel plate, finished steel products in Latin America in 2019 was 64.2 million tons, down by 5% compared to 67.6 million tons in 2018. The decline in steel consumption in the region reflects the contraction of Latin American economies, particularly the three major economies: Mexico, Argentina and Brazil. These three countries together accounted for 87% of the reduced steel consumption in Latin America. However, our steel materials export volume to those countries did not decrease but show a increasing tendency last year.
Flat steel is divided into galvanized flat steel, carbon flat steel, stainless steel flat steel, etc. according to the material. Flat steel can be divided into hot-rolled flat steel and forged flat steel according to the forging process. A709 Gr 100 bridge steel plate, Hot-rolled flat steel is a potential-rolled long steel with a rectangular cross-section for general use. Forged flat steel is a long steel plate with a rectangular cross section that is forged. Hot-rolled spring flat steel is mainly used to manufacture leaf springs for automobiles, tractors, railway transportation and other machinery. The thickness of the flat steel is 8-50mm, the width is 150-625mm, and the length is 5-15m.
Since the beginning of this year, the global A709 Gr 100 bridge steel plate steel pipe industry, like many other industries, is facing severe market situation. The difference is that novel coronavirus pneumonia is not only affected by the epidemic, but also closely linked to the oil and gas industry, and the global A709 Gr 100 bridge steel plate steel tube industry will also suffer from the "flash collapse" of international oil prices in March.
