Size effect for TStE380 carbon steel plate sheet

Compared with the traditional seamless steel pipe, alloy seamless pipe has better performance in all aspects. Because of the addition of various metal elements in the manufacturing, the overall strength of the alloy seamless pipe is larger, stronger and durable, and the service performance and service life of the TStE380 carbon steel plate sheet, alloy seamless pipe are improved. The alloy seamless pipe is the best choice especially for special environment and high pressure requirements. Because of its high material properties, alloy seamless pipe has good corrosion resistance. It is not easy to be corroded in some special environment, which reduces the cost of the project and has a longer service life.

Myanmar's demand for TStE380 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 TStE380 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.

A small amount of Nb is sufficient to obtain excellent comprehensive properties of TStE380 carbon steel plate sheet etc. steel material, because at low Nb concentration, the yield strength of steel material increases faster and is proportional to the concentration, but when the Nb content is greater than 0.03%, the strengthening effect begins to decrease. Studies have shown that when the Nb content is greater than 0.06%, excess Nb will no longer strengthen the steel material.

TStE380 carbon steel plate sheet, Q345B low alloy plate performance: 1) High strength: Generally its yield strength is above 300MPa; 2) High toughness: The elongation is required to be 15% to 20%, and the room temperature impact toughness is greater than 600kJ/m to 800kJ/m. For large welded components, higher fracture toughness is also required; 3) Good welding performance and cold forming performance; 4) Low cold brittle transition temperature; 5) Good corrosion resistance.
