Why is A131 AH36 naval engineering steel so cheap?

Why is A131 AH36 naval engineering steel so cheap?

The BBNSTEEL company has the first-class qualification for steel structure professional contracting, integrating production, design and installation, and can undertake various steel structure projects. The product has a wide surface, flat and smooth surface, and neat trimming. It has users in more than 10 provinces and cities in China and is exported to the United States, Canada, Japan, Europe, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions.

Our main specifications of medium and heavy plates are thickness 6.0-180mm and width 1400-2700mm. In addition, the ship steel plate has been approved by the factories of the eight-nation classification society such as CCS, ABS, BV, LR, GL, NK, KR, and DNV. Our A131 AH36 naval engineering steel, medium and heavy plates are widely used in manufacturing, logistics, and automotive industries such as construction machinery, mold processing, ships, bridges, high-rise buildings, pipeline transportation, automobile girders, automobile bridge shells, and pressure vessels.

The main uses of flat steel are as follows. First, flat steel is used as a raw material for processing steel plates, which is convenient for transportation, takes up a small space, and can save transportation costs. Second, A131 AH36 naval engineering steel flat steel can be used as raw material for processing welded pipes. Flat steel can be a finished steel product, or it can be used as a billet for welded pipes and thin slabs for stacked sheets. Third, flat steel can be directly used as a steel structure. As a finished material, flat steel can be used for making hoop iron, tools and mechanical parts, and used as building frame structure and escalator in construction. Fourth, the flat steel has a smooth surface and a certain degree of beauty.

Different from A131 AH36 naval engineering steel, the alloy wear-resistant layer of alloy plate is mainly chromium alloy, and other alloy components such as manganese, molybdenum, niobium, nickel are also added. The carbides in the metallurgical structure are distributed in a fibrous shape, and the fiber direction is perpendicular to the surface. Carbide microhardness can reach HV1700-2000 and surface hardness can reach HRC58-62. Alloy carbides have strong stability at high temperatures, maintain high hardness, and also have good anti-oxidation properties. They are fully used within 500°C.

What is the difference between Q345B steel and Q345A steel?
A131 AH36 naval engineering steel, Q345B steel and Q345A steel have slight difference in chemical composition:
Q345A steel: C ≤ 0.20, Mn ≤ 1.7, Si ≤ 0.55, P ≤ 0.045, S ≤ 0.045, V 0.02 ~ 0.15;
Q345B steel: C ≤ 0.20, Mn ≤ 1.7, Si ≤ 0.55, P ≤ 0.040, S ≤ 0.040, V 0.02 ~ 0.15.
The difference between Q345B steel and Q345A steel is mainly in A and B behind the steel grade, Q345A steel grade is not subject to impact; Q345B steel grade needs 20 ℃ room temperature impact test.
