CSC to launch new anti-seismic heavy plate

Because of the amendment of Taiwan construction statutes, China Steel Corp. (CSC) 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(490 to 610 N/mm2)and yield strength(325 to 445N/mm2) not only can meet the standard requirement, but also its yielding rate must be more than 80 percent 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 ten thousand tons per year and it will bring about 40 million NT dollars extra values for the company per year.
