POSCO Steel Plates

POSCO Steel Plates

Korea’s first integrated steel mill, was finally completed after 4 stages of construction at
Young-il Bay in February 1981.
POSCO is capable of producing and processing a variety of carbon steels and stainless
steels. The company’s global competitiveness was further enhanced when we opened
4 the world’s first FINEX commercialization facility in May 2007. 5

Main products _ Hot-rolled steel, Plate, Cold-rolled steel, Wire rod, Electrical steel,
Stainless steel, API steel, etc.
Crude steel production _ 16,852 million tons (as of 2021)

Gwangyang Steelworks

Gwangyang Steelworks is the world’s largest integrated steel mill which features
an optimal layout for processing carbon steel.
Products from Gwangyang works include automotive steel, high-strength hot rolled
steel, high-quality API steel, and thick plates among other products.
With the goal of specializing in the manufacturing of the world’s best automotive KOREA
steels, Gwangyang Steelworks focuses on enhancing its competitive edge. Seoul JAPAN

Fracture Resistance Evaluation Method

CTOD Test Required
Since the offshore structures should be used for more than 30 years without repairs after installation,
even one brittle crack can have a serious affect on the structure.  So the plates for offshore structure Span = 4W
150m Hull
need a high toughness against fracture. Especially the hull plates and the plates for the joint of top-side Offshore Structure Joint of Topside & Hull B a
W
and hull require high strengths with excellent toughness. POSCO has developed high quality and excellent
steel plates guaranteeing superb performance and weldability. Due to the outstanding quality and
performance of the API 2W Gr. 50/60 steel plates, POSCO is supplying API 2W Gr.50/60 steel plates as
an official vendor of major oil companies including ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, Total, and etc.

Introduction Advantages

TMCP(Thermo-Mechanical Control Process) Steel for construction and shipbuilding is manufactured by controlled Advantages for manufacturer(shipbuilders) include the lower production costs, higher productivity and
rolling and subsequent rapid cooling with low alloy contents. shorter project period.

T MCP steel shows excellent strength, toughness and weldability superior to conventional high strength steels • Increased strength by controlled rolling and cooling • Improvement of base metal toughness
produced by heat treatment(normalizing).
