厚板主要用于造船、海上采油井架、管道压力容器、储罐和其它结构。据统计,在用于焊接的成型厚板之中,约有一半是用之于制造能源供应和转换的设备;而据预测,在今后25至30年间,全球一次能源的供应量约增长一倍,故厚板的需求很大。 Thick slabs are mainly used in shipbuilding, offshore derricks, pipeline pressure vessels, storage tanks and other structures. It is estimated that about half of the forming slabs used for welding are used to make energy supply and conversion equipment; it is forecasted that the global supply of primary energy will roughly double in the next 25 to 30 years , So the demand for thick slabs.
