Overseas ASTM A285 Grade B pressure vessel plate prices are still in the upward range

The cold working performance of ASTM A285 Grade B pressure vessel plate and so on steel structure engineering steel is good, which can ensure that the steel will not crack or brittle fracture during high-temperature processing, and will not have a great impact on strength, plasticity and toughness due to processing. The durability of ASTM A285 Grade B pressure vessel plate and so on steel structure engineering steel is good. Durability refers to the service life of steel structure. The main factor affecting the service life of steel is the poor corrosion resistance of steel, followed by the deterioration of mechanical properties of steel under long-term load, repeated load and dynamic load.

Novel coronavirus pneumonia has been closed in recent years, and Pohang iron and Steel Co., Ltd. closed its overseas processing center in Italy, Malaysia, Philippines and India. At the request of the Italian government, all production activities will be stopped except for the necessary ASTM A285 Grade B pressure vessel plate products.
