Flat / Hot Rolled
Flat steel products are obtained by heating semi-finished products with a rectangular cross-section (slab), which are produced by the continuous casting method, to a specific temperature and then rolling them, with thicknesses ranging from 1.40 to 25.40 mm and widths ranging from 700 to 2025 mm, produceed as coil or by cutting/slit-coiling flat steel products from coils.
Hot rolled steels for manufacturing line pipes of crude oil and natural gas
- Unless otherwise specified; (Nb + V + Ti) ≤ 0.15%
- For each reduction of per 0.01% below the specified maximum carbon content, an increase of 0.05% above the specified maximum manganese content is permissible up to a maximum of 1.75%
- Unless otherwise specified, C and Mn values specified in the table are valid.
- Unless otherwise specified, B is not added.
- In Erdemir practice, test values apply to transverse specimens taken from the coil, although these test values apply to transverse specimens taken from the pipe body.
- Elongation percentage values given on the table are valid for thickness ≥ 12,7mm. For thinner thicknesses (<12,7mm); A50 (%) = 1940 Axc0.2 / U0.9 (Axc: cross-sectional area of specimen, mm²; U: minimum tensile strength, N/mm²) formulation is applied.
- There are some discrepansies (increase or decrease) between the test results, according to taken specimens from coil or pipe depending on diameter, type and direction of test taken from pipe. Therefore we advise our customers to consider this issue and determine the most suitable grade for their intended production accordingly.Mechanical properties which are specified in the above table for hot rolled bands are only guaranteed on the sample taken perpendicular to the rolling direction.
