Technical Specifications

Product Overview

Metallurgical Characteristics

Q245 is a low-carbon structural steel with a predominantly ferritic-pearlitic microstructure. The controlled carbon content and balanced alloying provides excellent weldability while maintaining adequate strength for structural applications. The fine grain structure achieved through controlled rolling enhances both strength and toughness properties.

Heat Treatment Process

MetalZenith employs controlled rolling followed by normalization at 860-920°C with controlled cooling rates to achieve optimal microstructure. This process ensures uniform grain size distribution and eliminates internal stresses, resulting in excellent formability and weldability characteristics essential for structural fabrication.

Manufacturing Process

Our Q245 steel production utilizes advanced electric arc furnace technology with precise temperature control and continuous casting processes. MetalZenith's quality control system monitors chemical composition, mechanical properties, and surface quality throughout production to ensure consistent structural performance.

Structural Quality Testing

Comprehensive testing protocols include welding performance evaluation using standard procedures, forming capability assessment through bend tests, fatigue strength testing under cyclic loading, and atmospheric corrosion resistance evaluation. These specialized tests ensure Q245 steel meets demanding structural application requirements.

Application Engineering

For building structures, Q245 provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio and weldability for frame construction. In bridge engineering, its fatigue resistance and atmospheric corrosion properties ensure long-term durability. For machinery manufacturing, the steel's formability enables complex component fabrication. In vehicle manufacturing, Q245 offers optimal balance of strength and ductility for chassis applications. General engineering applications benefit from its versatile processing characteristics and reliable mechanical properties.
