What is the difference between Q345B steel and Q345A steel? A588 grade B HSLA steel plate, Q345B steel and Q345A steel have slight difference in chemical composition: Q345A steel: C ≤ 0.20, Mn ≤ 1.7, Si ≤ 0.55, P ≤ 0.045, S ≤ 0.045, V 0.02 ~ 0.15; Q345B steel: C ≤ 0.20, Mn ≤ 1.7, Si ≤ 0.55, P ≤ 0.040, S ≤ 0.040, V 0.02 ~ 0.15. The difference between Q345B steel and Q345A steel is mainly in A and B behind the steel grade, Q345A steel grade is not subject to impact; Q345B steel grade needs 20 ℃ room temperature impact test.
Chromium molybdenum steel, also known as medium temperature hydrogen resistant steel, refers to the steel added with Cr (≤ 10%), Mo and other alloy elements to significantly improve the high-temperature strength limit and creep limit, and has good hydrogen corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance performance. A588 grade B HSLA steel plate, Chromium molybdenum steel is widely used in oil refining, chemical and other hydrogen containing devices and high-temperature equipment, and is one of the commonly used steels for pressure vessels.
By Region: data shows that in the first quarter of Asia, crude steel A588 grade B HSLA steel plate production was 315.2 million tons, down 0.3% year on year. Crude steel production in the EU region in the first quarter was 38.3 million tons, down 10.0% year on year. The output of crude steel in North America in the first quarter was 29.5 million tons, down 4.0% year on year. According to the output ranking, according to the latest data of the A588 grade B HSLA steel plate world iron and Steel Association, the output of crude steel in the top ten countries in March 2020 was 126 million tons (85.71% of the world), and the output of crude steel in the first quarter was 376 million tons (85.07% of the world).
Considering the large workload of allocation and transportion for our steel materials, we have built special shipping department, and make it independent form transportation department. The transportation department is in charge of transporting steel materials from our mill and warehouse to the port, and our shipping department is in charge of the shipping matters. So that our whole shipping efficiency is improved, and shorten time for customers to receive goods.
Affected by the weakening of the futures steel market, the market sentiment is cautious. Considering the resource cost, the A588 grade B HSLA steel plate merchants have strong willingness to stand up price and follow the rise. After the price rise, the A588 grade B HSLA steel plate merchants' shipment is not smooth, the transaction situation is generally weak, the downstream high level acceptance is weak, and the inventory pressure is not obvious. It is expected that the A588 grade B HSLA steel plate prices will fall down and adjust in the future.
