What is the production process of weathering steel plate?

In recent years, China's industrial productivity has a rapid development, especially in steel manufacturing has reached a higher technical level. China's steel plate materials can be divided into a variety of specifications, we can choose different types of steel plate according to the actual demand. Weathering steel plate is one of many steel plate specifications, which has good performance characteristics and is favored by the majority of consumers.

The production and processing of weathering steel plate material is relatively simple, and the whole smelting process does not require the operator to consume much labor. During smelting, scrap steel is added into the furnace along with the furnace charge. Deoxidizer and alloy are added after tapping. After argon blowing treatment, the molten steel is cast immediately. The molten steel is cast into slab by continuous casting machine after argon blowing. Due to the addition of rare earth elements in the steel, the weathering steel is purified and the inclusion content is greatly reduced.

The application effect of weathering steel in industry is very good. The global demand for weathering steel is gradually increasing, which is prominent in railway, highway, power tower construction and so on. Now it is popularized and applied in Bridge Engineering in China. However, it is worth our attention that in order to avoid accidents in the transportation of steel plate materials, it is very important to make corresponding preparations.
