ASTM A709 carbon steel plate sheet rolling points

Strip steel is a kind of steel plate with thin thickness, narrow width and long length. Strip steel can be made of common carbon steel, carbon structural steel, spring steel, tool steel, stainless steel, etc. Strip steel has the advantages of high dimensional accuracy, good surface quality, easy processing and material saving. There are many kinds of strip steel, ASTM A709 carbon steel plate sheet. Hot rolled steel strip is mainly used for cold-rolled billets, cold-formed steel billets, welded steel pipe billets, manufacture of bicycles and small hardware products.

Myanmar's demand for ASTM A709 carbon steel plate sheet steel products is likely to exceed 3 million tons in 2020 and 5 million tons by 2025, according to seaisi. However, Myanmar's producers are unable to meet domestic demand, so the country's steel products are more dependent on imports. In 2019, Myanmar imported more than 1.9 million tons of ASTM A709 carbon steel plate sheet finished steel, including 57% of long products, 13% of uncoated hot-rolled and cold-rolled flat products, and 30% of coated steel. In order to reduce its dependence on imports, Myanmar plans to increase its steel production capacity by building and expanding steel mills.

Oxygen (O) is a harmful element in steel such as ASTM A709 carbon steel plate sheet. Although manganese, silicon, iron and aluminum are added to deoxidize the steel at the end of steelmaking, they can not be removed completely. During the solidification of molten steel, the reaction of oxygen and carbon in the solution will produce carbon monoxide, which can cause bubbles. Oxygen mainly exists in the form of FeO, MnO, SiO2, Al2O3 and other inclusions in the steel, which reduces the strength and plasticity of the steel. Especially, it has serious influence on fatigue strength and impact toughness.

S235JR steel plate is one mainly of Carbon and low alloy steel, S235JR steel plate is a type of steel sheet under EN standard which is used to build ship, bridge, belongs to high strength sheet. EN10025-2 S235JR is equivalent to DIN:ST37-2, JIS:SS400, ASTM:A283C, GB Q235B and UNI:FE360B.
