Hot Rolled Sheets----Q235

 

INTRODUCTION

 

Q235 hot-rolled steel plate is a type of carbon structural steel that has been processed through hot rolling. It is widely used in various industries due to its good mechanical properties, welding performance, and processing performance. The "Q" in Q235 represents the yield strength of the material, while the "235" indicates that the yield strength is approximately 235 MPa. This steel plate is available in different grades, including Q235A, Q235B, Q235C, and Q235D, which mainly differ in their impact temperature performance.

INSPECTION STANDARD

 

The inspection standards for Q235 hot-rolled steel plates mainly include the following aspects:

 

Chemical Composition Inspection: According to the GB/T 700-2006 "Structural Steel" standard, the chemical composition of Q235 steel plates must meet specific requirements. The carbon (C) content should be less than or equal to 0.22%, the silicon (Si) content should not exceed 0.35%, the manganese (Mn) content should range from 0.35% to 1.40%, and the phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) contents should be strictly controlled, usually not exceeding 0.045% and 0.050% respectively.

 

Mechanical Properties Inspection: Mechanical properties are key indicators for evaluating the quality of Q235 steel plates. According to the GB/T 700-2006 standard, the yield strength of Q235 steel plates should not be less than 235 MPa, and the tensile strength ranges from 370 MPa to 500 MPa. The specific values may vary depending on the thickness and production process of the steel plates. In addition, elongation and impact toughness are also important mechanical performance indicators.

 

Dimensional Accuracy Inspection: Dimensional accuracy is an important basis for measuring the processing performance and installation convenience of Q235 steel plates. According to national standards, the thickness, width, and length of Q235 steel plates must meet the specified size range.

 

Surface Quality Inspection: Surface quality is an important guarantee for the appearance and service life of Q235 steel plates. During the inspection process, the surface of the steel plate should be carefully observed and inspected to eliminate defects such as scratches, oxidation, and rust.
