Note 1: Thermoforming that may reduce the steel strength value or steel
post-weld heat treatment at temperatures above 580 °C may not be suitable.
In accordance with the relevant technical specifications, flame straightening
is allowed.
Note 2: Thermomechanical processing may include a process of increasing
the cooling rate in a tempered or non-tempered state, the tempering includes
self-tempering but not includes direct quenching and quenching & tempering.
Note 3: Also known as TMCP (thermomechanical controlled process), also
referred to as “controlled rolling” in some publications.
4 Designation representation
4.1 The steel designation consists of four parts: the initial Pinyin Q of the yield
strength “Qu”, the specified minimum upper yield strength value, the delivery
status code, and the quality-grade symbol (B, C, D, E, F).
Note 1: When the delivery status is as-rolled, the delivery status code AR or
WAR can be omitted; when the delivery status is normalized or normalizing
rolling, the delivery status code is indicated by N.
Note 2: Q + The specified minimum upper yield strength value + delivery status
code, abbreviated as “steel-grade”.
Example: Q355ND, where:
Q - The initials of the Chinese Pinyin “Qu” of the yield strength of steel;
355 - The minimum value of the specified upper yield strength, in megapascal
(MPa);
N - The delivery status is normalizing or normalizing rolling;
D - The quality-grade is D.
4.2 When the purchaser requires the steel plate to have thickness-direction
performance, a symbol representing the thickness direction (Z-direction)
performance level, such as Q355NDZ25, is added after the above-mentioned
specified designation.
