What are the differences between Q345 and Q235?
1 Answers
Here are the differences between Q235 and Q345: 1. Trace element content: Q235 material contains C0.14-0.22%, Mn0.30-0.65%, Si≤0.30%, S≤0.050, P≤0.045; Q345 material contains C≤0.20, Mn≤1.70, Si≤0.50, P≤0.035, S≤0.035. 2. Yield strength: The yield value of Q235 material is about 235MPa; the yield strength of Q345 material is 345MPa. 3. Applications: Q235 material is widely used in construction and engineering structures, for making steel bars or constructing factory building frames, high-voltage transmission towers, bridges, vehicles, boilers, containers, ships, etc., and is also widely used for mechanical parts with relatively low performance requirements; Q345 material has good plasticity and weldability, and is used for medium and low pressure containers, oil tanks, vehicles, cranes, mining machinery, and power stations.
