Successful trial rolling of new steel grade BMF3 in Chongsheng Hot Rolling Plant

Recently, the hot rolling mill successfully trial-rolled the new steel BMF3, which is mainly used for high-end users, for high-end textile industry and electronic components.

Excellent non-magnetic performance: optimized composition design to achieve non-magnetic performance, relative permeability μ ≤ 1.003. Good corrosion resistance: good corrosion resistance, corrosion resistance between 430 and 304.

Non-magnetic stainless steel is a kind of austenitic stainless steel with soft and hard state and non-magnetic characteristics after large deformation. its austenitic phase has high stability and remains non-magnetic even after large cold working or deformation. at the same time, it has the advantages of good corrosion resistance and high plastic strength.

During the trial production, the key production teams of new products in the hot rolling mill are all rooted in on-site tracking and adjustment to ensure smooth production organization, improve the level of quality control, and deal with sudden slab quality defects, unqualified black roll quality and other unplanned problems.

In terms of production organization, in order to prevent other scale surface defects that may occur, an efficient hot charging mode is adopted from steelmaking to hot rolling to effectively avoid the risk of surface quality; at the same time, automatic combustion control is adopted, in addition to ensuring the heating quality according to the known steel characteristics, but also according to the quality feedback, timely and accurately modify the heating process control.

The main difficulties in the trial production technology of the hot rolling process are the large rolling deformation resistance of this steel, the inaccurate calculation of the thickness of the first production model, which depends on the superb operation skills of the on-site operators and the timely learning and adjustment of the rolling model. the products that meet the requirements of users are produced without danger in the early stage of trial rolling.

[SMM Nickel Flash] Based on nickel ore prices from 25 days ago, smelter profits for high-grade NPI remained high this week. However, from the current raw material side, ore prices from both the Philippines and Indonesia increased, while auxiliary material prices saw a slight pullback, leading to an increase in the cash cost of producing high-grade NPI from spot ore. At the same time, high-grade NPI prices experienced some pullback, making it difficult for smelter profits to see sustained improvement.

[SMM Nickel Flash] This week, due to a sharp decline in futures triggering arbitrage selling, high-grade NPI prices fell significantly. However, after the selling activity subsided, upstream quotations and the market center gradually returned to normal levels, supported by cost factors. Looking ahead, as the Chinese New Year holiday approaches, market activity is expected to remain subdued, and high-grade NPI prices are projected to hover at highs with limited fluctuations.
