Technical Specifications
Product Overview
Metallurgical Characteristics
GB Q890 is a low carbon, high strength structural steel with a fine-grained microstructure achieved through controlled thermomechanical processing. The steel features a tempered martensite or bainite microstructure that provides exceptional strength while maintaining good toughness and weldability. MetalZenith's proprietary alloying system incorporates precise amounts of Mn, Cr, Ni, Mo, and microalloying elements (V, Nb, Ti) to optimize hardenability and grain refinement.
Heat Treatment Process
MetalZenith employs a sophisticated quenching and tempering (Q+T) process for GB Q890 production. The steel is austenitized at 900-950°C, followed by controlled water quenching to achieve a fully martensitic structure. Subsequent tempering at 580-650°C optimizes the balance between strength and toughness. Our computer-controlled heat treatment ensures uniform properties throughout the material cross-section.
Manufacturing Excellence
Our advanced steel production facility utilizes electric arc furnace melting with ladle refining and vacuum degassing to achieve ultra-low inclusion content and precise chemical composition control. Continuous casting followed by controlled rolling in the austenite region ensures optimal grain structure development. MetalZenith's real-time process monitoring and automated quality control systems guarantee consistent mechanical properties batch to batch.
Quality Standards and Certifications
All GB Q890 products manufactured by MetalZenith comply with GB/T 1591 standards and are produced under ISO 9001:2015 quality management system. Comprehensive testing includes chemical analysis by optical emission spectroscopy, mechanical property verification through tensile and impact testing, and non-destructive evaluation using ultrasonic inspection. Material certificates include complete traceability documentation and third-party verification when required.
