Grade Description
-
01
Q series (Q355~Q460): Low-alloy high-strength structural steel, micro-alloyed with V, Nb, Ti, yield strength 355~460MPa, good weldability for large engineering load-bearing structures.
-
02
Mn-series steel (20Mn2,40Mn2,37Mn5): Manganese element optimizes hardenability; 37Mn5 is European standard oil pipe special billet, matching API oil & gas downhole pressure components.
-
03
Boron steel (40B,45B): Trace boron sharply improves hardenability, lower cost than chromium alloy steel, substitute 40Cr for medium-strength structural parts.
-
04
Cr-Mo tempered steel (35CrMo,42CrMo): Chromium-molybdenum composite alloy, outstanding high-temperature creep resistance, preferred material for heavy-load power core components.
-
05
Carburizing steel (20Cr,20CrMo,20MnTiB,20CrMnTi,30CrMnTi): Low carbon alloy, after carburizing heat treatment to form hard wear-resistant surface while retaining high-toughness core, raw material for all types of transmission gears.
