Stainless steel pipe 316 price stable transaction is weak

After the Spring Festival, due to the impact of the new coronavirus epidemic, the price of stainless steel pipe 316 continued to fall and is currently at a low level, and it is expected to rise in stages with the recovery of demand in the later period. However, in the context of the overall slight decline in the consumption of stainless steel 316 throughout the year, the price center of gravity of stainless steel 316 this year is likely to be lower than last year. If the steel mill can effectively reduce the output, or can make the price of stainless steel pipe 316 upward, so that the industry profit to achieve a certain increase. Stainless steel pipe 316 products as a bulk commodity, the degree of differentiation can be achieved is low, so stainless steel pipe 316 enterprises generally put forward a low-cost competition strategy, from the adjustment of raw material turnover days, optimization of coal blending structure and other aspects to reduce production costs. In the production cost of stainless steel pipe 316 enterprises, the original fuel cost generally accounts for about 70%, and iron ore as the main raw material cost accounts for the highest proportion, the most important thing to reduce the cost is to reduce the procurement cost of raw materials, especially iron ore. The excellent weldability of 2205 stainless steel plate is reflected in the low sensitivity of cold cracks and hot cracks in welding. Generally, there is no need for preheating before welding and no need for heat treatment after welding. Due to the high nitrogen content, the single-phase ferritization tendency of the heat affected zone is also relatively low. If the appropriate welding data is selected, the welding line energy can be effectively controlled, and the welding head has excellent induction function. The thermal crack sensitivity of 2205 stainless steel plate is much smaller than that of austenitic stainless steel. This is because the content of nickel is small, the impurities that are easy to generate low melting point eutectic are very few, and it is not easy to form a low melting point liquid film. In addition, there is no danger of rapid grain growth at high temperatures.
