China's Shandong Province-based Jinan Iron and Steel Corporation has announced that it has successfully developed JAR500F abrasion-resistant steel with Brinell Hardness of 360-500 HB and in a thickness range of 10-50 mm.
In addition, Jinan Steel lately concluded a deal with a Peruvian importer for the supply 204 mt of JAR500F abrasion-resistant steels. In tests, the products met all the customer's quality requirements.
Jinan Steel targets a quarterly export volume of more than 1,000 mt of the product in question in the future.
