ST37 carbon steel pipe remains one of the most cost-effective structural pipe options in 2025: Chinese and other Far-East mills continue to supply the lowest landed prices (FOB/FOB-China ranges commonly between $450–$800 / metric ton for commodity ST37/ERW/black pipe), while mill-grade seamless pipe and finished ASTM/API pipe from Western mills trades at a substantial premium […]

For most structural and welded applications where a guaranteed minimum yield of ~255 MPa is required, TStE255 remains a cost-effective, well-characterised choice in 2025. Globally, raw steel markets eased from the spring peaks; delivered plate prices for TStE255 vary by region, production route and minimum order size — typical ballpark landed prices in mid-2025 ranged

ASTM A516 (PVQ) Grade 70 remains the dominant pressure-vessel plate in 2025 and that price levels are highly regional: typical ranges in 2025 run roughly $650–$900 / t (China export), $700–$1,100 / t (India), $900–$1,600 / t (U.S. domestic/retail) and €650–€1,100 / t (Europe) depending on thickness, normalized vs. as-rolled condition, certification, and order size.

ASTM A830 low-carbon steel plates remain a cost-effective structural material in 2025, with raw-material price pressure easing in some regions but persistent regional spreads driven by local mill capacity, trade barriers, freight and energy costs. For procurement planning we recommend budgeting using regional price ranges (USD/metric-ton) rather than single fixed quotes, and to always add

CSA G40.21 structural plate remains a cost-effective, widely specified family of Canadian structural steels in 2025; prices have softened from the 2021–2023 peaks but remain volatile because of raw-material swings, regional trade measures and mill capacity moves. Buyers should expect North American plate delivered prices in mid-2025 to cluster in the range shown in the
