Applicability and limitations

Q/BQB 130—2003 is a standard for slabs produced by initial rolling for subsequent rerolling. The finished plate thickness in Table 3 means the plate thickness after rerolling the slab, not slab thickness or wire diameter. Table 3 gives ladle analysis in mass fraction wt%; C = capped steel, A = aluminium-killed steel, G = aluminium-silicon-killed steel, K = silicon-killed steel. Read the applicable condition row; unlisted elements are not assumed to be zero. Note 3 to Table 3 requires slabs for thick plate (finished thickness ≥15 mm) to use G aluminium-silicon-killed steel; buyer and supplier must verify applicability of rows involving other deoxidation methods. Product-analysis tolerances for killed steel are separately governed by GB/T 222 and must not be mixed with Table 3 ladle-analysis values.

Applicability and limitations

The original Japanese JIS G 3101:2010, main-text Clause 3, Table 1 lists SS490; applicable forms are plate, strip, sections, flat bars and bars. ; No additional maximum is specified in the applicable-size column of Table 1; Structural-steel product forms do not automatically establish suitability or supply as cold-heading wire. ; Main-text Clause 4, Table 2 gives heat-analysis mass fractions wt%; Only the elements already recorded for this entry are listed; the unspecified dash for C/Mn does not mean 0. ; Yield strength, tensile strength, elongation and bending in main-text Clause 5, Table 3 vary with thickness, specimen and form; no general guarantee is displayed before those conditions are structured. ; Historical 2010 is displayed separately; the 2011/2015 reference record and original 2024 record must not automatically be treated as the same edition.
