20# seamless steel pipe chemical composition: C: 0.07-0.23, Si: 0.17-0.37, Mn: 0.35-0.65, Cr: 0.25, Ni: 0.30, Cu: 0.25. 20# seamless steel pipe mechanical properties: recommended heat treatment temperature: 910℃, tensile strength: 410 MPa, yield strength: 245 MPa, elongation: 25%, impact energy is not required. 20# seamless steel pipe hardness is higher than 10# seamless steel pipe. A588 grade B heavy plate, 20# seamless steel pipe has good weldability, no temper brittleness, and its machinability can be improved by water quenching. 20# seamless steel pipe can be used to make welded components, as well as parts with small load after forging, hot stamping and cutting.
The work performance of A588 grade B heavy plate etc. steel material is mainly depended on its chemical composition, mechanical properties etc. parameters. The higher strength the steel has, the less quantity steel is needed to achieve same strong effect of the steel structure. However, the steel strength varies with the thickness. So please take steel thickness into consideration when evaluating the steel strength. For a certain steel, its strength also has something to do with the steel shape. For example, for a same steel grade, the steel strength is different for steel plates and pipes.
The main uses of flat steel are as follows. First, flat steel is used as a raw material for processing steel plates, which is convenient for transportation, takes up a small space, and can save transportation costs. Second, A588 grade B heavy plate flat steel can be used as raw material for processing welded pipes. Flat steel can be a finished steel product, or it can be used as a billet for welded pipes and thin slabs for stacked sheets. Third, flat steel can be directly used as a steel structure. As a finished material, flat steel can be used for making hoop iron, tools and mechanical parts, and used as building frame structure and escalator in construction. Fourth, the flat steel has a smooth surface and a certain degree of beauty.
