01 · PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Q355B is a low-alloy high-strength structural steel to GB/T 1591, micro-alloyed with niobium, vanadium and titanium. It delivers about 50 % higher yield strength than Q235B, allowing lighter sections and reduced welding, while keeping good weldability and excellent low-temperature toughness.
WHY CHOOSE Q355B
One material, one grade — Q355B only. Micro-alloyed chemistry, guaranteed 355 MPa yield, certified impact toughness and full traceability via mill certificate.
02 · KEY FEATURES
High Yield Strength
≥355 MPa yield enables thinner, lighter sections — up to ~30 % weight saving versus Q235 designs.
Excellent Weldability
Low carbon equivalent (CEV) keeps HAZ hardness low — weldable without pre-heat in most shop conditions.
Low-Temperature Toughness
Guaranteed ≥34 J at −20 °C (grade B) for safe service in cold climates and dynamic loading.
Weight Saving
Higher design stress cuts plate thickness and tonnage, reducing material, freight and fabrication cost.
Certified Quality
Mill test certificate with full chemistry and mechanicals supplied for every batch; third-party inspection available.
Cut-to-Size
Plasma and flame cutting to drawing — plates, blanks and profiled parts ready for use.
Note: Micro-alloy elements Nb, V, Ti added singly or in combination per GB/T 1591. Cu ≤ 0.40 %, N ≤ 0.012 %, Al ≥ 0.015 %. Mill test certificate supplied with every batch.
