Recently, the wide and thick plate production line of the thin plate factory won the first "big order" for thin-specification and ultra-wide rare earth wear-resistant steel, marking the realization of mass production of such products. Bao Gang United Steel has added a new member to its wide and heavy plate boutique.
Wear-resistant steel has high wear resistance, high strength, good weldability, high-temperature resistance, and excellent impact resistance. It is easy to process and has a wide range of applications. It can be used to process mining machinery, agricultural machinery, ships, etc. As the key product of the wide and thick plate production line of the thin plate factory, rare earth wear-resistant steel has the characteristics of pure steel, excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, good matching of strength, hardness, and toughness, excellent cold forming performance and weldability, and is generally recognized by users. Thin specification ultra-wide wear-resistant steel refers to wear-resistant steel products with a thickness within 20 mm and a width greater than 2500 mm. Thin specification ultra-wide wear-resistant steel is more difficult to control than ordinary wear-resistant steel plate shape. In 2023, thin plate factories will begin to produce such products, but they will always focus on small-quantity trial production and small-batch orders.
At the beginning of 2024, the thin plate factory received orders for a total of 1,874 tons of rare earth wear-resistant steel with thicknesses between 10 mm and 25 mm. Users put forward clear requirements for product strength, bending, and other indicators. Whether the flatness of the steel plate can meet the requirements is the key to completing the order. By adjusting the quenching water volume, water ratio, and quenching speed, cleaning the nozzles, calibrating the quenching machine frame, controlling the heating temperature and holding time, etc., the product quality finally meets the user requirements. At the same time, technicians and employees work together to shorten the production cycle and improve production efficiency, laying a solid foundation for the on-time delivery of contracts.
In order to meet market demand and enhance the core competitiveness of the market, Bao Gang United Steel has long been committed to technological innovation, continuously increased its efforts in new product development, and has successively created a number of "hit products" and "star products." This batch of thin-gauge and ultra-wide rare earth wear-resistant steel in production is the result of continuous optimization of production processes and improvement of product quality, it is also a new shining point of the "Baogang Rare Earth Steel" brand.
