A514 Gr P QT steel plate, EN 10025 E355 steel plate / sheet is suitable for general building steel. Chemical composition and mechanical properties of EN 10025 E355 steel. EN 10025 E355 steel conforms to EN 10025 standard, equivalent to DIN 17100: ST60-2, NFA: a60-2, UNI 7070: FE590 steel grade.
Vanadium mainly exists in the form of carbide in A514 Gr P QT steel plate and so on steel. Its main function is to refine the structure and grain size of steel and reduce the strength and toughness of steel. When the solid solution is dissolved at high temperature, the hardenability is increased; conversely, if it is in the form of carbide, the hardenability is reduced. Vanadium increases the tempering stability of quenched steel and produces secondary hardening effect. The vanadium content in steel, except high speed tool steel, is generally less than 0.5%.
Tata Steel Europe plans to cut 1250 jobs. Henrik Adam, CEO of Tata Steel, said: "the financial situation of Tata Steel Europe is very serious at present, and there is an urgent need to improve the company's performance and financial situation." Tata Steel has decided A514 Gr P QT steel plate in November 2019 to cut 3000 jobs in its European operations to reduce costs. After a period of negotiations with the European labour Commission, the layoff plan cut that number by more than half, minimizing unemployment. Tata Steel has about 20000 employees in Europe.
