CSC to launch SN490C anti seismic heavy plate

YIEH reported that China Steel Corp has successfully developed the new SN490C anti seismic heavy plate for construction usage in this July. Its available supply ranges from 40 mm to 75 mm. CSC will start to take order in the fourth quarter of 2007 to meet market demand.

CSC said that the SN490C heavy plate is anti seismic for construction usage. Its tensile strength of 490 to 610 N/mm2 and yield strength of 325 N/mm2to 445N/mm2 not only can meet the standard requirement, but also its yielding rate must be more than 80% to ensure that the product can absorb more physical strength.

The SN490C plate also has several advantages for welding, tenacity and high tactility, which can ensure that the building will not be collapsed by earthquake.

CSC expects the Taiwan domestic demand for the SN490C heavy plate will be upon 10,000 tonne per year and it will bring about TWD 40 million extra values for the company per year.
