What is A588 Grade A container steel modified plate

Corrosion resistant steel plate, as a new generation of advanced steel material, has 2-5 times of atmospheric corrosion resistance as ordinary carbon steel such as A588 Grade A container steel, and the longer the service time, the more prominent the corrosion resistance. Due to its characteristics of rust resistance, coating free, thinning and consumption reduction, labor saving and energy saving, corrosion resistant steel plate can be applied to steel structures exposed to the atmosphere for a long time, such as buildings, vehicles, bridges, towers, etc., and can also be used to manufacture structural parts such as containers, railway vehicles, oil derricks, seaport buildings, oil production platforms, etc.

Advantages of A588 Grade A container steel: 1. Steel purity: Wugang can produce high purity molten steel with P 0.010%, S 0.005%, N70ppm, O15ppm, H2ppm, and 20ppm total inclusions in the steel. 2. Good toughness and weldability. 3. The heat treatment technology: normalizing, quenching, tempering, tempering and other heat treatment processing can be carried out on the steel plate as required. 4. Significantly improve the plasticity and impact toughness of steel, and improve the anisotropy of steel.

Z-direction steel refers to thick steel with good tensile resistance in thickness direction. In the application of steel plate, the reason for additional performance requirements on the thickness direction of steel is due to the existence of defects in the thickness direction of steel in the process of casting and rolling. This defect makes the steel prone to lamellar tearing during welding, which reduces or even loses the design bearing capacity of application. The Z-direction performance is required for A588 Grade A container steel and so on steel plate with the tensile force along the plate thickness direction greater than or equal to 40mm.
