In the first quarter of 2020, the output of EU steel pipe industry decreased by 13.3% year-on-year, but it is considered to be flexible due to its close connection with the A514 grade A alloy steel plate construction industry. However, demand for large welded pipes is expected to remain weak in the oil and gas industry. In 2020, the steel consumption of steel pipe industry will account for 13% of EU A514 grade A alloy steel plate steel consumption market. Uestf predicts that in 2020, the output of steel pipe industry will continue the downward trend of 2019, with a year-on-year decrease of 19.4%, and a rebound of 9.8% in 2021.
As an experienced world class steel materials supplier and exporter, logistics and fast delivery is a crucial step to us. Our logistics department and shipping department take the responsiblity to allocate and transport steel materials from our mill and warehouse to customer port or designated destination. The cooperation of the two departemts are excellent and that powerfully support our fast delivery, and strive for shorter time for customers to receive steel materials.
Steel is the main raw material for shipbuilding and marine engineering structure construction, accounting for 20% ~ 30% of the construction cost of hull and marine engineering. The steel A514 grade A alloy steel plate products involved mainly include steel plates and section steel (marine bulb flat steel, H-beam, angle steel, etc.), casting and forging steel and supporting welding materials, etc. Among them, the amount of steel consumed for hull construction accounts for about 60% of the total ship mass, and sheet metal accounts for about 88%.
StE 480.7 TM steel plate/pipes,under DIN 17172 standard, we can regard StE 480.7 TM steel plate/pipes as large diameter pipes. A514 grade A alloy steel plate, StE 480.7 TM steel plate/pipes is one mainly of Steel for large diameter pipes,DIN 17172 StE 480.7 TM steel with the demands in mechanical properties of the pipes followed the DIN 17172 specification for grade StE 480.7 TM(YS is 485MPa, TS is from 600-750 MPa).It is well known that a low carbon bainitic microstructure offers an excellent combination of strength and toughness.
In 2013, one of our clients in Korea purchased 890 tons Q345B square tube from us for one building construction project. Our clients required no burr in the side of the tube, we finally produce the goods with great condition and +/-0.25mm tolerance for wall thickness, which is a very great tolerance with customers’ required size. Our square tube full available range is 2-16mm for wall thickness, and 40-500mm for width. In addition, our Q/C department will seriously control all of the process of every order.
We have huge stocks for carbon steel plates, high strength low alloy steel materials, weather resistant steel sheets, wear resistant steel plates, boiler plates, pipeline steel, etc. Those stocks can be delivered within 10 days after deposit. We update A514 grade A alloy steel plate stock list regularly. But the stock changes quickly. It needs to check with warehouse specially when you have urgent needs. Welcome to contact us and book steel materials stocks.
