The major benefit of Q345 steel is its mild temper, easy to form and weld. Q345 steel is one kind of Chinese standardized low alloy, medium tensile strength steel made with a hot-rolling process, used for a number of manufacturing purposes.
To some extent, the Q345 possesses the same property and composition of ASME A572, namely the Q345 is equivalent to A572.
This specification covers the standard requirements for Grades 42, 50, 55, 60, and 65 of high-strength low-alloy structural steel shapes, plates and sheet for applications in bolted, welded, and riveted structures in bridges and buildings.
Q345 steel specification: Q345 steel belongs to 16Mn steel grade, usually it is produced in hot rolled state, hot rolled steel plate, hot rolled steel coil/sheet, it has comprehensive mechanical and welding property, as it shows good performance in structural purposes, it is widely used as welding structural part in manufacturing of ship, railway and vehicles, bridges, boiler, pressure vessel container, steel oil tank, etc. Yield point of Q345 steel plate decreases as plate thickness increases.
Q345 steel properties: welding property of Q345 steel is occasionally questioned by end users, although welding property is mainly affected by its chemical content, its production technology has been improved after all those years of research, and has been proved to be one excellent steel standard for steel structure purposes, you can contact us if there’s any doubt in your mind.
Application difference Q345 - Q235:
As Q345 and Q235 alloy element content is different, their applications are quite different.
