High Strength Low Alloy Steel Plate Q345 Q345A Q345B—-Q345 can be classified into grades Q345A, Q345B, Q345C, Q345D, and Q345E; the primary difference between them lies in the impact test temperature.
| Ocena | Impact Test | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|
| Q345A | No impact test | General structures without low-temperature requirements |
| Q345B | Impact test at 20°C | Structural components at normal temperatures |
| Q345C | Impact test at 0°C | Structures in cold regions |
| Q345D | Impact test at −20°C | Low-temperature environments |
| Q345E | Impact test at −40°C | Extremely cold and severe environments |
Q345 is a type of steel—specifically, a low-alloy steel (with a carbon content of less than 0.2%)—widely used in construction, bridges, vehicles, ships, and pressure vessels. The “Q” denotes the material’s yield strength, while the “345” indicates a yield value of approximately 345 MPa; this yield value decreases as the material thickness increases.

1.Thickness
When the plate thickness is 16 mm or less, the yield strength remains at the standard 345 MPa; however, as the thickness increases to the 20–40 mm range, the yield strength typically drops to around 325 MPa; if the thickness increases further to 40–63 mm, the value may fall to 315 MPa or even lower.
2.Temperature
Low-temperature environments also significantly reduce the toughness of Q345. Although its strength values remain relatively stable, it is more prone to brittle fracture at sub-zero temperatures.
When selecting Q345 steel, a comprehensive assessment of other mechanical properties is essential. First, elongation reflects a material’s deformability; while thin plates typically require high elongation to ensure good formability during processing, thick plates may prioritize static strength. Second, if the component is intended for low-temperature environments or subject to dynamic loads, impact toughness is a critical factor; standard Q345 can become brittle at sub-zero temperatures, so grades with superior low-temperature performance—such as Q345D or Q345E—should be selected instead.
1. Hot-rolled flat steel: Features a mill-scale surface; suitable for structural load-bearing beams.
2. Cold-rolled coil:
Mirror-like finish; transformed into protective underbody plating for vehicles.
3. Galvanized finish:
Clad in silver-like armor; withstands 20 years of service in humid environments without rusting.
4. Laser cutting:
Precision down to the width of a human hair; directly processed into excavator bucket teeth.
High-quality Q345 steel features a fine, metallic luster on its cross-section; the outer surface does not wrinkle when bent 90 degrees, and it produces a crisp, bell-like sound when struck.
Thickness tolerance exceeding ±0.2mm: May result in assembly gaps.
Lamination in the cross-section: A structural defect resembling the layers of a flaky pastry.
Impact energy <34J at room temperature: Prone to brittle fracture in cold regions.
Abnormal manganese content: Affects toughness after welding.
