Surface quality inspection of marine grade EH40 steel plate

Strip steel is coiled and curved steel plate, which is different from common steel pipes and steel plates. Strip steel has obvious characteristics. First, it is thin and easy to curl, which is convenient for logistics and transportation. Second, the surface quality of marine grade EH40 steel plate, strip steel is good, the luster is bright and it has good flexibility. Third, the strip steel is easy to process. When you need to use it, you only need to straighten the bent part and you can directly process it. Fourth, the precision is high, and the strip steel can be made of plain carbon steel, carbon structure steel, spring steel, tool steel, stainless steel, etc.

Global marine grade EH40 steel plate crude steel production in March this year increased by 2.6 percent month on month and fell by six percent year on year to 147.1 million metric tons. accordina to the World Steel Association (worldsteel).In the first quarter of this year, global marine grade EH40 steel plate crude steel production decreased to 443.03 million mt, down 1.4 percent year on year.

The sulfur element (S element) comes from the ore and fuel coke of steelmaking. It is a harmful element in marine grade EH40 steel plate etc. steel. Sulfur exists in steel in the form of iron sulfide (FeS). FeS and Fe form a low melting point (985℃) compound. The hot working temperature of steel is generally above 1150 - 1200℃, so when the steel is hot working, the premature melting of FeS compound causes the workpiece to crack, which is called "hot brittleness". It reduces ductility and toughness of steel and causes cracks during forging and rolling. Sulfur is also detrimental to welding performance and reduces corrosion resistance.
