Welded Mild Steel Pipe exported to Yangon, Myanmar

After communicated with our buyer for long time, offered many steel prices of diverse steel products and provided many steel news in domestic and overseas market, the buyer made an order of Welded Mild Steel Pipe (15.875*1.5875*6000mm 28.575*1.5875*6000mm) finally, which exported to Yangon, Myanmar. Besides I accompanied the buyer to visit the factory, before got this order. And he was very satisfied with it, especially the new efficient production facility and the good quality material in the factory.

Signed with the sale contract and received the advanced payment, we purchased the steel pipe products from the factory. Before that, we had communicated with the workers in the factory, and informed them the detailed information about this order to guarantee the quality and the delivery time. In the productive process, our buyer also inspected the quality. Meanwhile we started to arrange the shipment matters according to the date of manufacture.

The products had been inspected by SGS, before the goods were shipped. Because the sailing date from Tianjin Port to Yangon is about 15days. The shipping owner made us to guarantee the documents can be ready as soon as the vessel arrived at the destination to arrange customs clearance on time in order to avoid demurrage. Unfortunately the final buyer delayed clearance because of kinds of urgent events. Meanwhile the shipping owner would loss 10,000 USD per day. At that time, I called our buyer and final buyer to resolve this matter successfully.

So it is necessary for us to communicate with our buyer anytime. After this, we have established long-time relationship with our buyer. And then we can provide more steel information like steel pipe prices, latest steel prices, etc. In fact, as long as in the business, the two sides can maintain the principle of good faith, and they can get long-term development in cooperation between each other. Therefore, we hope to serve our customers, there is our site---SteelFromChina.com which can provide you the all sorts of steel news, different steel style and steel prices can be provided in it. We hope, not only Yangon and Myanmar, there will be more countries that can contact with us and build the long-term cooperation relationship.

Knowing Detail Features of Different Steel Products

Following the development of industrial revolution and advanced technology, the steel area is being rapid advances, all kind of new technologies are used in steel products to improve the features of steel. Today's construction industry has been rapid progress, the demand of steel suppliers, a higher demand of quality and quantity of steel products. Generally speaking, there are some differences in steel prices and features for different products, the below will give some detail instruction to the often using steel series.

According to the shape of steel, the steel products can be divided into many types, such as steel pipes, steel coil, steel sheet, etc. via the related marketing survey, we have found that Seamless Pipes are widely used different areas. It is known that Seamless Pipe is a hollow sections, peripheral joints round, square, rectangular steel. Seamless steel pipes with hollow cross-section, a large number of solid steel pipes, steel round bar used for conveying fluids compared to the same torsional strength in bending, lighter, is an economic cross-section steel, widely used in the manufacture of the structure parts and mechanical parts, such as drill pipe, automotive drive shafts, bicycle frames, and the construction using steel scaffolding.

There is another steel tube, which is called rectangular tube. The rectangular tube is a hollow square cross-section of light thin-walled steel pipe, also known as steel cold-formed profiles. It is made ​​by the Q235 hot rolled or cold rolled strip or coil for parent metal forming by cold bending after the high-frequency welding steel of square cross-section shape and size. Hot-rolled special thick-walled square tubes in addition to wall thickness of thickening, the size of the corner and edge straightness to achieve even more than the resistance welding of cold formed square tube level. And it is widely used in the manufacture of mechanical parts and engineering structures. Also commonly used for the production of conventional weapons, the barrel shells.

Because the difference of rolling temperature, rolling steel can be divided into hot rolled steel and cold rolled steel. Simply speaking, a billet in the heating, rolling through several re-trimming, corrective become steel plate, which is called hot-rolled-steel. The feature of hot rolled steel plate is low hardness, easy processing and good quality. Cold rolled steel is steel plate further rolled into a target thickness of the plate at room temperature. Comparing to hot rolled steel plate, cold rolled sheet thickness is more precise and smooth surface, beautiful and offers a variety of superior mechanical properties, especially the processing performance. And cold rolled steel is often used for cars, refrigerators, washing machines and other appliances, and industrial equipment, construction materials.

In addition to the above-mentioned steel products, there are so many featured steel, like galvanized steel, galvalume steel, prepainted steel, etc. Owing to different features, they will play a different role in related areas.

In modern steel marketing, steel prices are changing based on the economic trends, and steel suppliers are different according to region differences. In order to find the high quality steel suppliers that can provide the proper steel prices and then getting the long cooperation, the internet marking is become important, nowadays, more and more companies own their website of steel to promote their steel products and services, via these ways, for most steel demanders, they can get total information about latest steel market.

Australian Demand for High Quality Steel Products


After about a year of studying and exploring the Australian steel market, I have the following experiences to share:
1.     Australia is a very big market, with demands for all types of Steel Products. Steel buyers put a strong emphasis on quality and the importance that steel grades from China are as close as possible or indeed exactly the same as Australian steel designations. The most popular Steel Products needed by the Australian market include: Square Tube, Seamless Pipes, Hot Rolled Steel Plate and Galvanized Steel.
2.     Most of the end-users prefer to buy from middlemen or traders. End-users do not necessarily want the hassle or risk of importing Steel Products from overseas themselves, even if the cost is much lower. This is why I tend to spend more time and effort pursuing business with steel trading companies in Australia, as they are ten times more likely to do business with us than end-users.
3.     Steel traders in Australia will get regular quotations from mills for a full size range of Steel Products every month. After that, they will send the Steel Price list to their customers, who’ll then select some they think are suitable on the market. This method of procurement seems commonplace in Australia and most of my customers request a price list of the Steel Products they need to be updated and sent out each month.
4.     The customers in Australia care more about the quality of Steel Products than the price, which is much more different from our Middle Eastern customers for example. Australian customers will always make a full investigation of the steel mill first to make sure they can get top quality Steel Products. Of course, Steel Prices are also a very important factor, that’ll never be ignored.

When you have known that the detail demand of Australian customers for steel products, you can provide them more suitable information for them including steel prices, the species of steel, etc.
