For the estimation in April and the second quarter, the estimation on March 16 is still valid, but the decrease in April is 10% higher than the neutral prediction. It is a conservative estimation based on 10% for the high probability event. In the second quarter, the output of overseas pig iron will be reduced by 11.67 million tons, affecting the demand for A514 grade E high strength steel plate iron ore of about 1.84 million tons; in the first half of the year, the output will be reduced by 18.899 million tons, affecting the demand for iron ore of 32.13 million tons.
Our company's technical department is the core department of the whole company. There are a group of very professional technical personnel. They provide some architectural drawings according to the ideas of customers, and they are responsible for how to select the right materials. Including the evaluation of steel products such as multi steel plate, A514 grade E high strength steel plate and steel pipe, grasp the whole production process, and strictly follow the production standards and customer quality requirements.
Ordinary A514 grade E high strength steel plate carbon steel mainly refers to the steel whose mechanical properties depend on the carbon content in the steel, and generally does not add a lot of alloy elements. Ordinary carbon steel is the abbreviation of ordinary carbon structural steel. Carbon content is less than 0.38%, and less than 0.25% is the most commonly used. It belongs to low carbon steel. In the Chinese standard, each metal grade indicates the low yield point of the steel when the thickness is less than 16mm. Compared with high-quality carbon steel, the limitation of carbon content, performance range, phosphorus, sulfur and other residual elements is wider for ordinary carbon steel.
API 5L steel is pipeline steel mainly for use in oil and gas industry. API 5L steel has PSL1 and PSL2 levels. For same API 5L steel grade, the carbon content for PSL1 is higher than PSL2. Meanwhile, the API 5L PSL2 steel has more strict requirement for P, S content than API 5L PSL1 steel, A514 grade E high strength steel plate. Therefore, API 5L PSL2 steel strength is higher than API 5L PSL1 steel strength. For example, API 5L X42 PSL2 yield strength is 317-524 MPa, tensile strength is 434-758 MPa. While API 5L X42 PSL1 yield strength is 290 MPa min. , tensile strength is 414 MPa min.
On March 17 th 2018, our Sudan customer purchased the SG295 cylinder steel coils through other country such as UAE,Turkey before they cooperate with us. After they research our regular customer in Uganda, UAE, and his friends in China, he is satisfied with our company. Our produced SG295 cylinder steel is mainly used to fabricate low temperature pressure vessels like gas cylinder. The customer is very satisfied to our A514 grade E high strength steel plate quality control and professional arrangement for the SG295 steel order.
