Ship plate is a kind of steel plate used in shipbuilding, including thin plates and medium-thick plates. The China Classification Society rules divide steel plates into "ABDE" four quality levels, namely CCSA, CCSB, CCSD, and CCSE. There are many main materials for ship plates, such as A709 grade HPS100W bridge steel plate, stainless steel, galvanized steel, shipbuilding steel plates, wooden ship plates, etc. Each material is used in different places. Generally, those large cargo ships at sea use stainless steel plates. Otherwise, if the ship plates rust, it will not only pollute the sea but also affect the ship itself.
High strength steel is mainly used in offshore engineering, lifting equipment, construction machinery, container storage tank and other important steel structures with harsh working conditions, hoping to reduce weight. The application of A709 grade HPS100W bridge steel plate, high strength steel can not only reduce material cost, transportation cost and production cost, but also save welding material consumption, welding work hour; reduce post welding stress, preheating temperature and post weld heat treatment requirements.
According to foreign media reports, despite the impact of the coronavirus epidemic, most German screw A709 grade HPS100W bridge steel plate steel producers still maintain a good level of production. This is in sharp contrast to the situation in other European countries and Germany's domestic steel mills, which are suffering from a slowdown due to the spread of the epidemic. Lotter kummatt Stahl, a local distributor, told customers on its website: "there is no reason at present to believe that German steel mills such as Riva and ferralpi are no longer able to serve the A709 grade HPS100W bridge steel plate market due to the impact of the closure of local steel mills in Italy.
