Key Features
High Tensile Strength: These plates have a minimum yield strength of 345 MPa and tensile strength ranging from 485–655 MPa, making them capable of supporting heavy structural loads.
Superior Toughness: With good impact resistance even at low temperatures, they ensure structural safety under dynamic or extreme conditions.
Excellent Weldability: The steel plates can be easily welded for complex assemblies without compromising mechanical performance, reducing fabrication time and costs.
Durability: Designed for long-term use in outdoor or harsh environments, the plates exhibit resistance to fatigue and corrosion, suitable for both civil and industrial structures.
Products Application
These plates have a minimum yield strength of 345 MPa and a tensile strength ranging from 485 to 655 MPa, with an elongation of ≥20%. They also maintain impact toughness ≥27 J at 20°C, ensuring structural safety even under low-temperature or dynamic load conditions.
Bridge Construction: Girders, deck plates, and trusses, capable of withstanding heavy traffic loads.
Industrial Machinery: Frames and structural components for cranes, construction machinery, and heavy equipment.
Building Structures: Columns, beams, and support frameworks where strength and weldability are critical.
Marine and Offshore Facilities: Port structures, shipyards, and offshore platforms benefiting from the steel's durability and toughness.
