EN24 steel and mild steel

Otai exports various tool steel and alloy to more than 30 countries from Europe and America, Middle East, and Asia. Our steel materials meet DIN / ASTM / EN / JIS etc different international standards. Special Steel supplied by Otai is fully trusted by the US oil field giant and one military industry well-known enterprise. Today we will talk about EN24 steel and Mild steel’s difference and application.

EN24 steel is a kind of alloy structural steel – mechanical steel.

The first is to improve the hardenability of steel, to ensure that the steel after heat treatment to obtain a good comprehensive mechanical property, with high strength and enough toughness.

Suitable for cold pressing, thin blanking dies, punch and shear die. It is also suitable for manufacturing precision molds, precision instruments, precision side setting tools, reamer, milling cutter, roller, cold-drawn die, GAUGE, sample die, punch, cold-cut, scissors, tungsten knife, woodworking tools, spiral touch, various punching die and so on.

Mild steel is also known as mild steel because of its low strength and hardness.

It includes most ordinary carbon structural steel and a part of high-quality carbon structural steel, most of which are not used for engineering structural parts by heat treatment, some by carburizing and other heat treatment for mechanical parts requiring wear resistance.

The annealing structure of low carbon steel is ferrite and a small amount of pearlite. Therefore, its cold forming ability is good, can be used to roll, bend, stamping, and other methods of cold forming. The steel also has good weldability. The carbon content ranges from 0.10% to 0.30%. Low carbon steel is easy to be processed such as forging, welding, and cutting. It is often used to make chains, rivets, bolts, and shafts.

Otai undertakes every order to end and solve customer’s problems without any hesitation on responsibility. When customized special steel is hard to get, Otai settles satisfactorily completely.

From June, for supporting our customers friends, our company have the SPECIAL OFFER on some steel grade, it is including buy 4340 steel. In fact, recently, even if some customers are still in quarantined, but their steel business never stop. And from some country, we got the news from them. The Government will raise taxes significantly in a few months time. It is to start to recover the large amounts money they have given to the population and businesses during the pandemic. So the importing taxes in the coming months will be much higher for them. Some of customers for saving on the taxes, they made the purchasing plan in advance.

And as the government advise, recently, the additional tariff taxes will be increased. It is for reducing the negative impact of the new epidemic on the national economy. And it is for protecting the import pressure facing the domestic industry. But in fact the truth is for recovering the large amounts money the government gave to the people during the pandemic. Even it is true that the money is taken from people, and it is used on people. Nowadays, there will be a large amount of people made redundant over the coming months. Especially on this difficult time, may the most important thing the government need to do is how to overcome the difficulties together. Increased the taxes at this moment, it seems that make them more difficult.

And OTAI do wish that we could go through this special difficult time together, in June, our company make the SPECIAL OFFER on buy 4340 steel and other steel grades. Hope everything will be getting better and better for all the customer friends.

In 2018 , a customer send us inquiry about 4140 plate Q+T , with a size ranging from 20-120MM . More of 10 different size . Our sales learned that customers also send the inquiry to  other two Dongguan foreign trade supplier and Hunan steel factory . However, according to our understanding of the market , other suppliers have some sheet thickness out of stock . And they cannot supply sheets of some not commonly used size . This customer was importing from China for the first time . Although we told the customer this fact after the quotation , the customer still insisted on taking the goods from another trader at a low price .

Regarding 4140 plate stock, OTAI maintains a daily inventory of 1,000 tons, and the inventory size is multiple. We are the largest stockist in South China. We can provide customers with large slabs, or cut them into strips according to the customer’s size requirements. And we can also do milled or turned bright surface from the 4140 plate stock. After 21 years of professional pre-sales and after-sales service, our company has received accredited quality recognition from the majority of overseas customers. And the customer placed the repeat order over 85% from our 4140 plate stock.

In fact, there are so many steel suppliers in China, and the different quality of each has led to different price levels. The quality produced by large steel mills and small steel mills is completely different. Because it is a raw material for steel, it is difficult to distinguish from the appearance alone. Only when it is really applied to the product will quality problems be discovered. Last year, many small steel mills stopped production due to production problems and the production of fake and inferior products. Some overseas customers don’t understand China’s situation is more likely to step in the pit if only focus on cheap prices.

Customer Story

There was a customer in Latin America last week. We took the initiative to contact them through the website. We learned from the conversation that the customer had bought 4140 plate stock in China before. But since he was deceived by that supplier once, he never wanted to buy it from China. He was really bitten by a snake, and he was afraid of the rope for ten years. Seeing that the guests are deceived, I really feel so sad. If he bought from us who is reliable and with a good reputation, he will avoid this happened.

Although we have no way to ask some of our other suppliers, everyone must abide by the rules of business ethics. And everyone must compete benignly, not to disrupt the situation that disrupts the market. But the only thing we OTAI can do is to do ourselves well. We need to insist on the attitude of being responsible to customers and maintain the company’s good reputation. And continue to develop with quality as the primary task for long-term development. So during these 21 years, thanks to all the customer’s friends who have accompanied us along the way. Thank you for your trust and support. OTAI will return to everyone with quality and the best service!
