{"Image DocumentName": "Offshore WF Mills 1. Arcelor / Mittal \u2013 Mills located in Luxemburg.", "Image ImageDescription": "W14x550 thru 730s, in A992 (50 ksi yield) that may not be domestically produced. Also, various WF sections in A913 Gr Nippon - Mills located in Japan. WF sections including W14x550 thru 730s in A992 (50 ksi yield) that may not be domestically produced. Currently developing equivalent to A913 Gr 65, but not yet approved by ASTM. 3. Pros of Offshore Material. Availability of larger sections not domestically produced in lieu of builtup WF or box columns. Availability of A913 Gr 65 that is not domestically produced. 4. Cons of Offshore Material. Prone to schedule problems (no commitment is literally written into their Purchase Agreements; Fabricators have little influence over offshore mills). (Rolls are based on tonnage accumulation; mills are shutdown for maintenance; vessels depart once a month; vessels can offload at wrong port; delays in customs/offloading, etc). Cost premium. For example, W14x730 A913 Gr 65 at  .75/#. W14 A992 domestic sizes might be around  .39/#. Sole source material. Welding of A913 Gr 65 requires E80 electrodes or qualification of welding procuedures to achieve high yield at welds. Only applies when welding Gr 65 to Gr 65 material (splicing).", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
