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 Gr Q structural steel material 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 Gr Q structural steel material 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.
Although both HSLA steel plate and carbon steel plate belong to carbon structure and low alloy structure steel, there are some differences. First of all, A514 Gr Q structural steel material, HSLA steel plate and carbon steel plate differ in strength, hardness and use. In terms of strength, the strength of HSLA steel plate is higher than carbon steel plate. In terms of hardness, the hardness of HSLA steel plate is also higher than that of carbon steel plate. And in the scope of use, the advantages of HSLA steel plate are more prominent, so the scope of HSLA steel plate use is more extensive than that of carbon steel plate.
As we all know, steel pipes occupy more space in the process of transportation. If there is no good way of packing, the transportation cost for steel pipes will be a big expense. In view of this characteristic, our company is ingenious and adopts the nest package method to solve this problem perfectly. The premise of the nest package is that the diameters of the steel pipes are different, and the small diameter pipe is inserted in the large diameter pipe. This not only saves the volume, but also saves the transportation cost. It also reduces the loading and unloading workload by half, saves precious time, and enables customers to receive goods earlier.
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.
The data shows that Southeast Asia is the main A514 Gr Q structural steel material and so on steel export region of China, and the steel export volume of Asia in 2019 is 37.198 million tons; that of North America and South America is 4.0678 million tons, and that of Europe is 1.1358 million tons. According to the latest epidemic data, South Korea and Japan are the most affected countries in Southeast Asia. However, the growth rate of the number of confirmed cases slowed down significantly, while the situation of the epidemic in Italy, a major European steel export country, was still severe, with the number of confirmed cases exceeding 53000. Therefore, the recovery speed of European market is slower than that of Southeast Asia.
The high strength A514 Gr Q structural steel material low alloy steel, which is shorten as HSLA steel, is one of our main products. We have professional team to serve you. For any demands or questions about HSLA steel, for example, ASTM A572 grade 50 chemical composition, difference between S355JR and S355J2, mechanical properties of A514 Gr Q structural steel material ST52 steel, Q345B tensile strength, Q345D steel ASTM equivalent, HSLA steel price etc. , please do not hesitate to contact us and consult.
