The main function of boron in A709 grade 50 structural steel sheet and so on steel is to increase the hardenability of steel, so as to save other rare and precious metals, such as nickel, chromium and molybdenum. For this purpose, the boron content is generally regulated in the range of 0.001% - 0.005%. It can replace 1.6% nickel, 0.3% chromium or 0.2% molybdenum. It should be noted that molybdenum can prevent or reduce temper brittleness, while boron slightly promotes temper brittleness, so molybdenum can not be completely replaced by boron.
We have 4 typical production lines, which can produce hot rolled Seamless, LSAW, ERW and SSAW pipes. SSAW pipe production line range is OD 219.1mm-3500mm, wall thickness 3.2mm-25.4mm. Product A709 grade 50 structural steel sheet annual capacity is 200 thousand tons.
