Compared with thick steel plates, EN10025-4 S420ML, thin steel plates have many obvious advantages in steel plate processing and use. It is precisely these advantages of thin steel plates that make them more and more popular in various industries. First, compared to those thicker steel plate materials, thin steel plates are generally thinner in thickness. Thin steel plates themselves are lighter and thinner, and their weight is lighter, which is very convenient for handling during construction and transportation. It can save some storage and transportation space.
Q690D steel material is a low-alloy ultra-high strength steel grade. Standard: GB/T 3077. The hardenability of steel is high, and the critical hardenable diameter in oil is 60mm (96% martensite). After quenching and tempering, steel can obtain high strength, and has certain toughness, and can be processed into shape. But cold deformation plasticity and weldability are low.
Most common en10025-4 S420ML steel plates are rolled by hot rolling or controlled rolling. Compared with the general hot rolling process, the advantages of controlled rolling are: the strength and low temperature toughness of steel plates are greatly improved by controlled rolling to refine grains. In addition, the controlled rolling process can give full play to the role of Microalloying Elements Nb, V and Ti, not only play a role of precipitation strengthening, but also refine the grains, and improve the toughness of the rolled EN10025-4 S420ML steel plates.
