Product Overview
Q345B Angle Steel is hot rolled low-alloy high-strength angle iron manufactured under GB/T 1591-2018 and GB/T 706 standards. Its chemical formula is optimized with Mn microalloying to boost load capacity compared to ordinary Q235 angle steel. Two mainstream types: equal leg angle steel and unequal leg angle steel. It undergoes 20℃ Charpy impact inspection (Grade B), stable mechanical performance under normal temperature dynamic loads, widely used as connecting supports, stiffeners and load-bearing frames in construction, bridge, marine, power and mining industries.



Characteristics
1. High strength: The yield strength of Q345B steel is 345MPa, the tensile strength is between 470-630MPa, and the mechanical properties such as wear resistance, tensile resistance and distortion strength are good.
2. Strong corrosion resistance: Q345B steel has excellent corrosion resistance and can be used in a wide range of chemical and Marine environments.
3. Good weldability: Q345B steel has good plasticity and weldability, and can be processed and trimmed by various welding methods.
4. Low cost: The price of Q345B steel is relatively low, and it can replace many high-strength steel grades, so it has a wide range of application prospects in various application scenarios.
5. Excellent comprehensive performance: Q345B steel has excellent comprehensive performance and strong bearing capacity, and can also improve its strength and toughness after heat treatment, control rolling and other processes.

Common using problems
1. Quality problems: Some inferior Q345B steel may have defects such as inclusions, bubbles, cracks, etc., which affect the mechanical properties and service life of steel.
2. Improper design or construction: If the design or construction of Q345B steel is improper, it may lead to problems such as reduced carrying capacity, structural instability, and even lead to safety accidents.
3. Uneven force: If the steel is subjected to uneven force, it may lead to deformation or rupture and other problems.
4. Corrosion problems: Long-term use of Q345B steel is susceptible to natural environment, natural oxidation and external force, resulting in surface corrosion, aging and fatigue fracture and other problems, reduce the service life.
5. Welding problems: For welding Q345B steel, the welding temperature must be controlled and the appropriate welding materials must be selected, otherwise there may be problems such as welding looseness and cracks.

FAQ

01.What's the difference between Q345B and Q235 angle steel?
Q34B is low-alloy high-strength grade with 345MPa yield strength, for heavy-load bridge/tower/mine structures; Q235 ordinary carbon steel only for light indoor frames with lower bearing demand.
02.What types of industries use angle steel plates?
03.How should I store and handle angle steel plates?
04.What are the different types of angle steel plates?
There are several different types of angle steel plates, including equal angle steel plates, unequal angle steel plates, hot-rolled angle steel plates, cold-rolled angle steel plates, galvanized angle steel plates, and stainless steel angle steel plates. The type of angle steel plate used will depend on the specific needs of the project.
