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.

H13 application –chapter 10

heat treatment of H13 steels are decarburization, superheating, And also make the mold surface gets residual tensile stress. H13 steel will make the mold get failure early. If the temperature of H13 steel some parts of grinding surface up to over 800℃, and not make it cool fully. Then the material of the surface layer will be re-austenize.

1. And quenching into martensite. So the surface layer of the die for H13 steel  will get high stress. At the same time, that H13 STEEL  will make the possibility of getting grinding crack be higher. The technology of heat treatment Taking the heat treatment in the right way will make the mold get what it needs about the properties and raise the time of working. But if do h13 steel  in the wrong way, it will cause the defects of heat treatment. H13 steel will harm hugely to its load capacity. The defects of hdehiscence, strength is not enough and etc. After a period of time of use, the internal stress accumulates to a damage level. It must do a work of strain relief tempering. If not, it will dehiscence during work time.

The use and care of H13 steel die

1. The preheat of steel mold H13 steel has high content alloy elements and its thermal conductivity is bad. So it must fully preheat before the use. The temperature of preheating too high, then the temperature of the mold will be higher during the work. And its strength will get down, it will easy to get plastic deformation then make the surface subsides. However, if the temperature of the preheating is too low, the temperature of the surface has a big change. With high heat stress, get the crackle is more easily. The temperature of preheating for H13 steel mold is at the range of 250-300℃.
3. H13 steel that can reduce the temperature difference between the mold and the forgeable piece to avoid excessive thermal stress on the surface of the mold, and effectively avoid the plastic deformation of the mold surface.

What does the epidemic mean for the 42crmo4 steel plate trade? Challenge or chance?

The popular issue people talk about is whether the epidemic will affect the development of economic .the report about this question is covered in the news .without doubt, it indeed causes a lot of trouble for everyone’s life. the festival should be a chance for tourism, traveling, cousin and so on. However, with the outbreak of coronavirus, everything changed, people have to stay at home. The company delays the working date, the school delay the study date. What does the epidemic mean for42crmo steel plate trade? Challenge or chance?    maybe it is a chance more than the obstacle.

At first, I  think the epidemic will affect the 42crmo steel plate trade. I am a little worry about it .however, it stimulates the development of  42CRMO4 steel plate trade. Our colleagues in the factory are busily delivering the 414o steel .because the steel is related to our life even during the time of the epidemic, such as making the mask.

The epidemic affects the steel industry, let’s share the statistics together.

Why the 4140 plate for mask machine ultrasonic is necessary?

Why the 4140 plate for mask machine ultrasonic is necessary?

Since the coronavirus is under control,we start business,like I said before,the 4140 plate is sold a lot and very quickly,as the 4140 plate for mask machine ultrasonic,to produce medical ear-loop face masks with nonwoven materials.

I discussed an 4140 plate order of 175 tons,it just discuss 1 days ago,and my customer sign the contract and make a payment,however,when the payment is reach,I intend to arrange shipment,the warehouse told me that all thickness of thickness 35-40-45mm are sold out,a factory who produce mask machine ultrasonic need it urgently,we know the market demand a lot of mask,but now,the situation is demand exceed supply,every one are waiting more mask in market.it need more factory to manufacture face mask,but the factory need more machine increase the productivity,so now,most of the factory ask for the 4140 plate 35-40-45mm,and some of them had pay already,but these specification is scarcity.

Now,let’s check the most popular steel in 2020 as below.

Applications

DIN 4140 Tool steel is a alloy structural steel, 4140 is used for engineering structural, like high tensile shafts, bolts and nuts, gears, pinions and spindles. Locomotive traction with the big gear, supercharger drive gear, pressure vessel, rear axle, gear load of connecting rod and a spring clip,4140 can also be used to under 2000 m deep well of oil drill pipe joint and the fishing tool, and can be used for bending machine mould, etc

Forming

AISI 4140 alloy steel has high ductility. It can be formed using conventional techniques in the annealed condition. It requires more pressure or force for forming because it is tougher than plain carbon steels.

Welding
AISI 4140 alloy steel can be welded using all conventional techniques. However, the mechanical properties of this steel will be affected if it is welded in the heat treated condition, and post weld heat treatment should be performed.

H13 application –Chapter 9

• The design of the die-H13 steel 

The design of mold for H13 steel  depends on the shapes and specification of products to make sure the size of the die. That was good for the strength of dieto H13 steel .

Furthermore, too small radius of rounded corner, ill-suited groove position and etc will make the die gets big pressure during the heat treatment. That is easy to cause crackle. So must make the taper angle, hole and etc at the right position in the mold H13 steel .

• Production technique

1. Forging ProcessThere are so many alloy elements in H13 steel. The resistance of deformation is big at the time of forging. And the thermal conductivity of the material is bad. So the eutectic temperature is low. That is easy to burn. So preheated temperature range must be at 800-900℃. Then heated to the initial forging temperature of 1065-1175℃. In order to crush large non-metallic inclusions and make the carbide get small, the forging ratio needs to be bigger than four. At the cooling process after forging, it is possible to get quenching crack. And the core is easy to get transverse cracks. So H13 steel must be slowly cooled after the forging.  The machining of cutting The roughness of the surface after the machining of cutting, which has a large impact on the thermal fatigue property of steel mold. The roughness of the steel mold surface must be lower. The knife mark and cullet cut are not supposed at here. Those shortages will cause pressure over control to make the thermal fatigue crack. So, must pay attention to handle these things in the mold at the time of processing. 3. The machining of grinding  for H13 steel  will be better .
2. At the process of grinding, the generation of heat by friction at the parts which is easy to cause the problems of crack, empyrosis and etc.

Which kind of steel would be the best sold in 2020?I guess should be 4140 plate,

4140 plate for mask machine,

Which kind of steel would be the best sold in 2020?I guess should be 4140 plate,Cause the coronavirus is very heavy in China at the beginning of 2020,and it seems it had spread to other countries,such as Japan and South Korea,Italy etc.

Each countries are demand for face mask badly,and now,more and more factory demand for the mask machine,as the Chinese steel market had been shut down, for almost a month,there is no raw material for producing the machine,once the market resume,For making face mask machinea,lot of factory are ordering the 4140 plate steel,when the mask machine is done,there will be enough face mask for defending the desease.

Let’s check the information of 4140 plate for mask machine.

AISI 4140 alloy steel is chromium, molybdenum, manganese containing low alloy steel. It has high fatigue strength, abrasion and impact resistance, toughness, and torsional strength. The following datasheet gives an overview of AISI 4140 alloy steel.

4140 alloy steel material is a high quality Quenched and Tempered Alloy Structural steel, It belong to the high quality medium carbon alloy steel, Oil Quenched & Tempered Hardenss is 28-34 HRC.4140 Annealing delivery hardenss less than 250HB.

Did the steel market effect by the coronavirus?of course it’s,Imagine there 14 billion people are stuck at home

Did the steel market effect by the coronavirus?

Of course it’s.The economic effect alot by coronavirus,especial cause by the industrial.Imagining there 14 billion people are stuck at home to fight for the coronavirus,all the business was stop,actually it’s not only effect the Chinese steel market,the coronavirus also effect the market all over the world.Let’s check some news from The economic news

Near-panic over a spreading coronavirus, sheared more than 1,000 points off the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA,-3.15% on Monday, with more and more companies having followed in Apple’s AAPL, -3.39% footsteps ,by warning of lower sales and supply disruptions that could cause even more damage in the next few months.

Just a few weeks ago, from the viral outbreak in China,most economic forecasters were predicting a small impact . Since then the virus has made its way to South Korea, Italy and other countries, raising the prospect that it will spread worldwide.

The U.S. economy has been shielded from direct impacts of the virus, but the side effects are becoming more evident each day. Declining travel. Fewer foreign tourists. Supply bottlenecks for automobile makers and tech companies. The closure in China of popular American retail chain stores such as Starbucks SBUX, -2.76% and McDonald’s MCD, -0.67% . And so on.

Goldman Sachs on Monday raised its estimate,the economic damage to the U.S. for the third time in as many weeks. The bank now predicts the virus will shave eight-tenths,that a percentage point from U.S. growth in the first quarter — double its original estimate. That’s a fairly big chunk of growth.

But I don’t think we need to too anxious,as the Chinese steel factory is going to resume,that meas the mould & engineering business is going to start working,once the industrail is resume,The economy will recover soon.
