Asian S460 steel grade equivalent prices continue to rise

The company specializes in the research and development, production and sales of S460 steel grade equivalent seamless pipes, longitudinally welded pipes, large-diameter welded pipes, API 5L welded pipes, spiral welded pipes, and large-diameter thick-walled straight seam steel pipes. The company has S460 steel grade equivalent five production lines in three major production workshops: large-diameter longitudinally welded pipe production workshop,S460 steel grade equivalent rolled steel pipe production workshop, and thermally expanded steel pipe production workshop, with an annual production capacity of more than 100,000 tons.

Tianjin warehouse mainly stores steel plates and steel pipes. The monthly replenishment is about 12000 tons. Our inventory cycle is short and flexible. Shanghai warehouse mainly stores S460 steel grade equivalent ,steel plate and section steel. The average monthly purchase volume is about 15000 tons. The geographical location of the warehouse has greatly improved our performance in terms of transportation and delivery time.

"Our mill has three production lines:1).2500mm production line (Width: 1600-2300mm, S460 steel grade equivalent Thickness: 6-30mm, Annual capacity: 1,600,000 Tons; 2).3500mm production line (Width: 2000-3050mm, Thickness: 10-80mm, Annual capacity: 2,000,000 Tons; 3).4300mm production line (Width: 1500-4100mm, Thickness: 6-300mm, Annual capacity: 1,800,000 Tons; The weight of each ingot can reach S460 steel grade equivalent 44 tons, which is at the leading level in China. In addition, we have a 1700mm hot-rolled coil production line (width range: 900-1550mm, thickness range: 1.2-25.4mm, annual S460 steel grade equivalent production capacity: 3.5 million tons."

The Indian customer purchased our A516 Gr 70 pressure vessel steel plates to make tanks. They have very strict requirement for raw materials quality. For the A516 Gr 70 pressure vessel steel plates, they asked for Normalizing, 0℃ impact, A578 UT test, PWHT and so on tests, our Q/C department witness the production process with the technician from the customer company together. Meanwhile, we arrange BV inspection to check the quantity, spray mark, stamp on the A516 Gr 70 pressure vessel steel plates, and so on.

The chemical composition difference between S460 steel grade equivalent, Q235B and 20# steel is as follows:
The chemical composition of 20# steel: C: 0.17-0.23%, Si: 0.17-0.37%, Mn: 0.35-0.65%, Cr: ≤ 0.25%, Ni: ≤ 0.30%, Cu: ≤ 0.25%. Chemical composition of Q235B steel: C: ≤ 0.20%, Si: ≤ 0.35%, Mn: ≤ 1.40%, P: ≤ 0.045%, S: ≤ 0.045%.
The difference of mechanical properties between S460 steel grade equivalent, Q235B and 20# steel is as follows:
The mechanical properties of 20# steel: tensile strength 410 MPa; yield strength 245 MPa; elongation after fracture: 25; reduction of area: 55; no impact. Q235B steel mechanical properties: tensile strength 370-500 Mpa; yield strength: ≥ 235 Mpa; elongation after fracture: 25; impact absorption energy: 27J.
