Let’s talk about H13 Steel  Today.

H13 is a hot-working die steel. It is a steel type formed by adding alloying elements on the basis of carbon steel. The standard GB / T1299-2000 is implemented.

1.Corresponding grade of H13: 4Cr5MoSiV1

H13 Steel mechanical properties: hardness: annealing, 245 ～ 205HB, quenching, ≥50HRC

H13 Steel is the most widely used and representative hot work die steel.Its main characteristics are

(1) It has high hardenability and high toughness;

(2) Excellent resistance to thermal cracking, which can be water cooled in the workplace;

(3) With medium wear resistance, carburizing or nitriding processes can also be used to increase its surface hardness, but the heat crack resistance should be slightly reduced;

(4) Due to its low carbon content, the secondary hardening ability is poor in tempering;

(5) It has anti-softening ability at higher temperatures, but the hardness decreases rapidly when the use temperature is higher than 540 (1000) (that is, the working temperature can be 540);

(6) Small deformation during heat treatment;

(7) Medium and high machinability;

(8) Medium resistance to decarburization.

What is even more remarkable is that H13 Steel can also be used to make important components in the aviation industry.

Most of my customer asking the formula for calculating weight of steel plate，When they were going to purchasing 4140 plate.

Most of my customer asking the formula for calculating weight of steel plate，When they were going to purchasing 4140 plate.for steel stockist,most of them did the procurement base on ton,but for some trading company and some factory,which is the end users,they would like to buy base on pieces unit.however,as a steel wholesaler,most of the order are charged by tons,that some company they wanna calculate advance by themselves，to estimate the cost .

So now,I try to collect most of the steel formula here.

Formula for calculating weight of steel plate

Formula: 7.85 × length (m) × width (m) × thickness (mm)

Example: steel plate 6m (length) × 1.51m (width) × 9.75mm (thickness)

Calculation: 7.85 × 6 × 1.51 × 9.75 = 693.43kg

Steel tube weight calculation formula

Formula: (outer diameter-wall thickness) × wall thickness mm × 0.02466 × length m

Example: 114mm (outer diameter) x 4mm (wall thickness) x 6m (length) of steel pipe

Calculation: (114-4) × 4 × 0.02466 × 6 = 65.102kg

Round steel weight calculation formula

Formula: diameter mm × diameter mm × 0.00617 × length m

Example: Round steel Φ20mm (diameter) × 6m (length)

Calculation: 20 × 20 × 0.00617 × 6 = 14.808kg

Square steel weight calculation formula

Formula: side width (mm) x side width (mm) x length (m) x 0.00785

Example: Square steel 50mm (side width) x 6m (length)

Calculation: 50 × 50 × 6 × 0.00785 = 117.75 (kg)

Flat steel weight calculation formula

Formula: side width (mm) x thickness (mm) x length (m) x 0.00785

Example: Flat steel 50mm (edge width) x 5.0mm (thickness) x 6m (length)

Calculation: 50 × 5 × 6 × 0.00785 = 11.7.75 (kg)

Hexagonal steel weight calculation formula

Formula: Opposite diameter × Opposite diameter × Length (m) × 0.00068

Example: Hexagonal steel 50mm (diameter) x 6m (length)

Calculation: 50 × 50 × 6 × 0.0068 = 102 (kg)

Rebar weight calculation formula

Formula: Diameter mm × diameter mm × 0.00617 × length m

Example: Rebar Φ20mm (diameter) × 12m (length)

Calculation: 20 × 20 × 0.00617 × 12 = 29.616kg

The theoretical weight of 4140 steel is the weight calculated from the nominal size and density of the steel (formerly known as specific gravity).

The theoretical weight of 4140 steel is the weight calculated from the nominal size and density of the steel (formerly known as specific gravity). This is called the theoretical weight. This is directly related to the length, cross-sectional area, and tolerance of the steel. Due to the allowable deviation of the steel in the manufacturing process, the theoretical weight and actual weight calculated by the formula are somewhat different, so it is only used as a reference when estimating.

Actual weight of 4140 steel

The actual weight of steel refers to the weight obtained by the actual weighing (weighing) of the steel, which is called the actual weight. Actual weight is more accurate than theoretical weight.

Calculation method of steel weight

(1) Gross weight is the symmetry of “net weight”, which is the total weight of the steel itself and the packaging material. The transportation company calculates the freight based on gross weight. However, the purchase and sale of steel is calculated based on the net weight.

(2) Net weight is the symmetry of “gross weight”. The gross weight of the steel minus the weight of the packaging material, that is, the actual weight, is called the net weight. In steel purchase and sale, it is generally calculated by net weight.

(3)Tare The weight of 4140 steel packaging materials is called tare.

(4) Weight ton The unit of weight used when calculating freight based on the gross weight of steel. Its legal unit of measurement is ton (1000kg), as well as long ton (1016.16kg in English weight units) and short ton (907.18kg in American weight units).

(5) Billing weight Also known as “billing ton” or “freight ton”. The weight of the steel charged by the transportation department. Different shipping methods have different calculation standards and methods. For railway vehicle transportation, the marked weight of the truck used is generally used as the billing weight. Road transport charges freight based on the tonnage of the vehicle. Less-than-truckload for railways and highways is based on a gross weight of a few kilograms, which is charged at a minimum.

The coronavirus is the hottest issue all over the world .compared with the February, the epidemic is under-control now in china. our government takes a lot of measures to resume the development of economic.

Will the steel industry be affected by the epidemic? I don’t think so.

As reported, 90 key railway projects in China resume construction. with 199,000 people starting working at the construction sites in question, as announced by China Railway Corporation (CRC).

Meanwhile, CRC is actively promoting preliminary work at other major railway projects. including the Sichuan-Tibet railway, the Chengdu-Chongqing high-speed railway.  the Xi’an-Chengdu high-speed railway is also included. CRC is pushing to start construction on such projects as early as possible.

Meanwhile, CRC has run 115 special trains to transport workers.It transporting 123,000 people to go back to work. Railway passenger traffic in China has risen each day since February 20.thus providing solid support for the resumption of production in China. because the shortage of labor is the biggest problem facing the industry in China at the moment.

Previously, China’s Ministry of Finance announced that it will carry out a proactive fiscal policy to support the construction of key projects.It will boost demand for steel. So the steel industry will not be affected by the epidemic .the demand for steel will be increasing soon.

After analyzing the statistics of the crude steel production I mentioned before, we can find that steel production in China still keeps increasing.

Otai Steel supplies a wide range of carbon, alloy, and stainless steel products. including high-speed tool steel, cold works tool steel, hot works tools steel, plastic mold steel, engineering steel and machine structural steel, etc.

After almost 20 years of development and growth, Otai Steel becomes one comprehensive special steel factory, stockist and exporter. If you want to know more about us, please feel free to connect with me.
