Let’s introduce weather resistant steel carefully in below:

Q235NH Weather Resistant Steel

Standard: GB/T4171-2008

Grade: Q295GNH, Q355GNH, Q265GNH, Q310GNH, Q235NH, Q295NH, Q355NH, Q415NH, Q460NH, Q500NH, Q550NH

Classification and Performance:

Classification Grade Production Usage
High strength weather resistant steel Q295GNH, Q355GNH Hot-rolled Compared with weldable weather resistant steel, it has better atmospheric corrosion resistance
Q265GNH, Q310GNH Cold-rolled
Weldable weather resistant steel Q235NH, Q295NH, Q355NH, Q415NH, Q460NH, Q500NH, Q550NH Hot-rolled Compared with high strength weather resistant steel, it has better welding performance

a means to improve the performance, one or more trace alloying elements can be added:

Nb 0.0015%-.06%, V 0.02%-0.12%, Ti 0.02%-0.1%, Alt ≥0.02%

b means Mo≤0.3%, Zr≤0.15% can be added

c means the total amount of three alloying elements such as Nb, V and Ti should not exceed 0.22%

d means the supply and demand parties agree that the content of S shall not exceed 0.008%

e means the lower limit of Ni content is not required by both parties through negotiation

f means both parties agree that the content of C should not exceed 0.15%

 Delivery Status

Hot rolled steel is delivered in hot rolled, controlled tie or normalizing condition. Q460NH, Q500NH, Q550NG steel can be quenched and tempered state delivery. Cold rolled steel is generally delivered in annealed condition.

Remarks:

(1)    This table is only a comparison of steel grades and does not include quality grades.

(2)    A242M, A588M, A606 and other standards without grade, but there are multiple corresponding chemical components. This table only lists the grade names of chemical components like this standard
