Q620D

1 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

Heat analysis, mass fractions wt%; Retain the identity of the 2008 edition; do not apply the 2018 edition.. ; When grain refining elements need to be added per 6.1.2, at least one of Al/Nb/V/Ti must be contained and specified in the quality certificate.; This clause does not provide mandatory general lower limits for all elements.. ; 6.1.4 When nitrogen-fixing alloying elements such as Al/Nb/V/Ti are added, N is not restricted, but the nitrogen-fixing elements must be specified.; If this condition is not selected, the N upper limit listed in the table is the default.. ; Table 1, Note a: For sections/bars, the P and S limits may each increase by 0.005%; the upper limit for quality class A may be 0.045%.; Cannot be used for other products.. ; Table 1 Note b: When grain refining elements are added in combination, Nb+V+Ti≤0.22% and Mo+Cr≤0.30%.; The individual-element upper limits cannot all be taken simultaneously.. ; Clause 6.1.6: RE is calculated as an addition of 0.02–0.20% of the molten-steel weight, not as guaranteed finished-product composition..
