Effect of humidity and temperature on corrosion of ASTM A242 steel

The advantages of ASTM A242 steel, medium and thick boiling steel plate: The surface is relatively smooth, the quality is good, and it is easy to process. Because medium and thick boiling steel plate does not have concentrated shrinkage holes, the amount of deoxidizer is small, and boiling steel plate price is lower than other steel plates. Disadvantages of medium and thick boiling steel plate: it has a lot of gas content and impurities, it is not easy to weld, and its bearing capacity is worse than other steel plates, so it is not suitable for parts that need to bear gravity.

The company is a large ASTM A242 steel steel supplier and exporter specializing in steel coil, steel plate, steel tube and section steel. The company has always put service and quality first, offered reasonable price, taken small profits and quick turnover as the principle, honest and trustworthy as the purpose. The success of the company is not only the hard work and wisdom of all the employees of the company, but also the deep love of our customers. We will continue to achieve new leaps and create greater brilliance of the ASTM A242 steel enterprise, and make our own contribution to the development of the world economy.

If the chromium content in ASTM A242 steel alloy steel reaches about 12%, dense chromium oxides will be formed on the surface of the steel, which will greatly improve the corrosion resistance of steel in oxidizing media. Chromium, aluminum, silicon and other elements can improve the oxidation resistance of steel and the corrosion resistance of high-temperature gas, but excessive aluminum and silicon will deteriorate the thermoplasticity of steel.

Oxygen (O) is a harmful element in steel such as ASTM A242 steel. Although manganese, silicon, iron and aluminum are added to deoxidize the steel at the end of steelmaking, they can not be removed completely. During the solidification of molten steel, the reaction of oxygen and carbon in the solution will produce carbon monoxide, which can cause bubbles. Oxygen mainly exists in the form of FeO, MnO, SiO2, Al2O3 and other inclusions in the steel, which reduces the strength and plasticity of the steel. Especially, it has serious influence on fatigue strength and impact toughness.

The after-sales service department will pay return visit to each customer by call or email, report problems found during the return visit in time, and discuss with the production and quality inspection center to propose effective solutions and follow up in a timely manner, so as to ensure the benefits each customer are fully guaranteed, and to provide customers with more value-added services.
