Q355D

2 source records. Standards, editions and conditions are presented separately; matching grade names do not establish interchangeability.

Refer to each source for mass fractions and analysis type. Missing values are not treated as 0. Manufacturer typical values, standard guarantees and measured heat results must remain separate. Use the material selector for calculations and condition selection.

Applicability and limitations

For sections and bars, the P and S maxima may each be increased by 0.005%. ; The Nb of Q390 and Q420 may reach a maximum of 0.07%, and the Nb of Q460 may reach a maximum of 0.11%; V and Ti may reach a maximum of 0.20%. ; When acid-soluble aluminum Als≥0.015%, total aluminum Alt≥0.020%, or other nitrogen-fixing alloying elements are present, N is unrestricted; Nitrogen-fixing elements must be specified in the quality certificate. ; For sections with a nominal thickness greater than 100mm, the C shall be negotiated between the supplier and the purchaser. ; The ≤40mm column in the table header includes Note b: for steel with a nominal thickness greater than 30mm, C ≤0.22%; Note b shall not be ignored to judge solely by the table header range. ; For Q355B, C ≤0.24% in the table; for Q355C/D, C ≤0.20% in the ≤40mm column and C ≤0.22% in the >40mm column; Simultaneously verify Note a, b and the actual form.
