Development of A32 and A36 High Strength Shipbuilding Steel Plates

Development of A32 and A36 High Strength Shipbuilding Steel Plates

Since the 1990s, China’s shipbuilding steel plates industry has entered the international market on a large scale, and the shipbuilding steel plates industry has gradually become one of the pillar industries in China. With the development of shipbuilding steel plates in the direction of large-scale and light-weight, the general strength ship plates can no longer meet the needs of the hull, and the proportion of high-strength ship plates will continue to increase. Therefore, the development of high-strength shipbuilding plates has broad market prospects. Structural steel for hull can be divided into general strength steel and high strength steel. A32 and A36 are one type of structural steel for high strength hull. With the development of the shipbuilding industry, the requirements for materials are becoming more and more demanding. At present, in the factory approval, besides the certification of the quality system, strict type tests must be carried out. Type test and test items and requirements attention is the ability to guarantee the physical and chemical properties of the product, and its technical requirements are mainly reflected in the following aspects.
The plasticity and toughness reserve is sufficient to withstand the crack propagation and brittle fracture of the hull during normal navigation or accidents. The toughness and plasticity index must have considerable room to compensate for the deterioration of material properties caused by various heat and cold processing during the construction process, especially for materials that require good crack resistance in important parts. For ships in unbounded areas, lower brittle transition temperatures at lower temperatures are required. Therefore, in the factory-approved type test, it is necessary to test the longitudinal and lateral series of Charpy V-type impact work (20 ° C, 0 ° C, -20 ° C, -40 ° C) and the drop weight test to measure the NDT brittle transition temperature. We should meet the adaptability of the shipyard’s processing technology in ship construction. The hull line type is more complex and has many types of curved surfaces. Therefore, on the one hand, the material must have good weldability, and the forming operation of the material such as cold, hot bending and water-fire bending of the material should be satisfied, and surface damage and fine cracks are not formed. Therefore, the factory type test must carry out the system welding test and the longitudinal and transverse cold bending test. The surface quality and dimensional tolerances are strictly controlled to ensure that the ship’s board is free of pitting after shot peening. All specifications ship plate thickness tolerance is ≤ 0.3mm. Seawater corrosion resistance should not be lower than ordinary carbon steel. A32 and A36 shipbuilding plate delivery state thickness ≥ 12.5mm specifications must use CR (controlled rolling delivery), N (normalizing) or TM (temperature-deformation controlled rolling).

What are railway rail fasteners?

What are railway rail fasteners? Railway rail fasteners Railway rail fasteners are a kind of railway accessories. The parts used to combine rails and sleepers (or other types of under-rail foundations) on the track are also called central joint parts. Its function is to fix the steel rail on the sleeper, maintain the gauge and prevent the longitudinal and lateral movement of the rail relative to the sleeper. The railway rail fastener system is divided into the shrapnel fastener system, gusset fastener system, and elastic strip fastener system. The gusset-type fastener is composed of a gusset plate, a threaded spike, a spring washer, an iron seat, and a buffer pad. The threaded spike is anchored in the reserved hole of the concrete sleeper bearing platform with sulfur cement mortar, and then bolts are used to fasten the buckle. Plate fastened. There are elastic strips I, II, and III types of clip fasteners. Type I elastic strip is composed of ω elastic strip,  screw spike , gauge b...

South Korea’s Hot Rolled Steel Plate Production Will Decline this Year

South Korea’s Hot Rolled Steel Plate Production Will Decline this Year It is predicted that Korean domestic production of  hot rolled steel plate  will decline this year due to weak market demand. In the first half of the year, Korean domestic production of hot rolled steel plate was 6.048 million tons, a decrease of 4.8% year-on-year. The main reason for the reduction in production is the large-scale maintenance of related equipment, especially in September and October. Another reason is the recent weakening of demand in the domestic market in Korea. In the second half of this year, besides the small rebound in market demand in the construction industry, the consumption prospects of other downstream steel industries are bleak. However, considering the intensification of trade tensions between Japan and South Korea, South Korea may cut import of hot rolled steel plate, cold rolled steel sheets and pipes from Japan. Therefore, Korean hot rolled steel plate producers ...
