Typical Chemical Composition
| Element | Typical Maximum / Range (%) |
|---|---|
| C | ≤ 0.20 |
| Si | ≤ 0.35 |
| Mn | ≤ 1.40 |
| P | ≤ 0.045 |
| S | ≤ 0.045 |
Mechanical Properties
| Property | Q235B |
|---|---|
| Yield Strength | ≥ 235 MPa* |
| Tensile Strength | 370–500 MPa |
| Elongation | ≥ 26%* |
*Mechanical property requirements can vary with plate thickness and the applicable standard. The certified values should be confirmed from the material certificate supplied with the order.
Q235B Steel Plate Processing
When standard plate dimensions do not match the fabrication requirement, Q235B steel plate can be supplied with cutting according to the requested dimensions.
Cut-to-size supply can be considered for:
- Base plates
- Connection plates
- Gusset plates
- Support plates
- Brackets
- Other fabricated steel components
Processing requirements should be confirmed together with the drawings or cutting dimensions before order confirmation.
