Welding technology of ASTM A588 carbon steel plate sheet

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.

A299GrA steel plate is one of the materials widely used in boiler drums (steam drums) of coal-fired generator sets. Boiler plate ASTM A588 carbon steel plate sheet is mainly used in the head and shell of subcritical boiler drum products. Generally used for various welding parts whose working temperature does not exceed 400°C, such as boiler steam drums, pressure vessels, etc., which require the steel to have a high medium temperature.

In actual processing applications, the processing ASTM A588 carbon steel plate sheet thickness of flame cutting ranges from 6 to 200 mm, and the ASTM A588 carbon steel plate sheet cutting thickness can even reach 350 mm by replacing the air pipe and cutting torch nozzle. In order to better improve the cutting quality, the related process parameters will be slightly different when using flame cutting for materials of different thickness. The verticality of the cutting surface processed by the CNC flame cutting machine is generally high, and the slope can be controlled below 2-3°. The characteristic is that flame cutting performs better when cutting ASTM A588 carbon steel plate sheet with a certain thickness above 10mm.

ASTM A588 carbon steel plate sheet, St52-3 steel is a low alloy, high strength structural steel which can be readily welded to other weldable steel. St52-3 steel’s mechanical properties is yield strength more than 355 MPa, tensile strength 490-630Mpa. For St52-3 steel, the C element content is 0.24%, the Si element content is 0.55% max, the Mn element content is 1.60% max, the P element content is 0.045% max, the S element content is 0.045% max.

BBN company has steel plates production workshops and warehouses with a total area of more than 500,000 square meters, and the total inventory of various types of steel exceeds 1 million tons. Relying on world-leading processing equipment and storage facilities, the company has strong steel production and processing capabilities, comprehensive logistics and logistics services, ensuring that it can efficiently complete more than 1 million tons of hot rolled plates processing business each year.

The strip steel thickness is generally below 6mm, which is convenient for crimping and processing. You should choose the ASTM A588 carbon steel plate sheet, strip steel specifications according to your own purposes. The specifications and materials used for different purposes are different, so you must confirm it before buying. It is best to ask professionals to give advice before purchasing strip steel, and purchase the specifications and types you need according to the corresponding requirements.
