How is A36 steel plate smelted?

Pretreatment of molten iron: Pretreatment of molten iron to remove impurities and gases in preparation for the subsequent smelting process of A36 steel plates.
Converter smelting: Pour the molten iron into the converter, add an appropriate amount of scrap steel and alloy materials, and proceed with smelting.
Refining treatment: Refining the molten steel after smelting in the converter, and achieving the required chemical composition and mechanical properties by adding alloy elements and adjusting temperature.
Continuous casting: The refined molten steel is poured into the continuous casting machine, and after cooling and molding, a steel slab with a certain thickness and width is formed.
Rolling: The A36 steel slab is heated and put into the rolling mill. After multiple passes of rolling, an A36 steel plate with the required thickness and width is formed.
Heat treatment: According to the user's needs, the A36 steel plate is heat treated to adjust its mechanical properties and microstructure to achieve the required strength, toughness, hardness, corrosion resistance and other indicators.
Flaw detection: Finally, conduct flaw detection on the A36 steel plate to ensure that its surface quality and dimensional accuracy meet the requirements.
