Main advantages and disadvantages of nm500 steel plate

Grade AH32/AH36, NM500 steel plate, Grade DH32/DH36 high-strength structural steel products for hulls have good comprehensive mechanical properties, welding performance, good processing performance. Grade AH32/AH36 hull strucural steel is suitable for manufacturing structural parts such as ship hull structures, docks, oil production platforms, marine transmission pipelines, coastal power plants, wharf facilities, etc. in ocean, coastal and inland navigation areas.

According to the data released by the Japan iron and Steel Union (JISF), the export volume of Japanese steel in the second quarter of 2020 NM500 steel plate is about 4.959 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 14.2%; the export volume in the first half of 2020 is about 11.07 million tons, with a year-on-year growth of 1.8%. It has been revealed that the year-on-year increase in export volume does not mean that Japan's export NM500 steel plate situation of Pugang is better in the first half of the year, but only because the base number of the same period last year is too low.

The main function of boron in NM500 steel plate and so on steel is to increase the hardenability of steel, so as to save other rare and precious metals, such as nickel, chromium and molybdenum. For this purpose, the boron content is generally regulated in the range of 0.001% - 0.005%. It can replace 1.6% nickel, 0.3% chromium or 0.2% molybdenum. It should be noted that molybdenum can prevent or reduce temper brittleness, while boron slightly promotes temper brittleness, so molybdenum can not be completely replaced by boron.

Lopes, President of the Brazilian Iron and Steel Association, pointed out that at present, increasing NM500 steel plate and so on steel exports would be the best choice for Brazilian steel producers. The Association has made a series of proposals to the Brazilian government to support the economic recovery. Lopes revealed that the Association is seeking to increase the export tax rebate proportion of the steel industry from the current 0.1% to 5%, which will give related products a price advantage of 7% when exporting, and the export volume is expected to increase by 20%.
