Foreword

The consistent degree between this Standard and ISO 630.1995 “Structural Steels” is not equivalent. The main differences are as follows. - Designations of yield strength levels of 185N/mm2 and 355N/mm2 are not defined; - Designations Q195 and Q215 are specified to corresponding levels 195N/mm2 and 215N/mm2; - The phosphorus contents of class A steels of Q235 and Q275 are decreased by 0.005%; - The thickness of Q235 class B steel is divided into two levels according to the deoxidization method; and the carbon content is 0.20% for both levels; - For Q235 class B steel of which the thickness is smaller than 25mm, it may be exempted from inspection, with the consent of the buyer, and if the supplier can ensure that the impact absorbed energy is qualified; - The yield strength of Q275 steel of which the thickness is bigger than 80mm~100mm is increased by 10N/mm2; - Cold bending test is added; - Detailed group-batching rules are specified according to the situation of China. This Standard replaces GB/T 700-1988 “Carbon Structural Steels”. Compared with GB/T 700-1988, the main changes are as follows. - Semi-killed steel is deleted in “deoxidization method”; - Designations Q255 and Q275 in GB/T 700-1988 are deleted; - Designation E275 in ISO 630.1995 is newly added, and is changed to new designation Q275; - The lower limits of carbon and manganese contents of each designation are deleted, and the upper limit of manganese content is increased; - The limits of silicon content of rimmed steel and killed steel are deleted; - Silicon content is changed from 0.30% to 0.35% (except for Q195); - The phosphorus and sulphur contents of designation Q195 are decreased from 0.045% and 0.050% to 0.035% and 0.040% respectively; - The provision of elongation-after-fracture of which the thickness (or diameter) is not bigger than 16mm is deleted; - “The upper limit of the tensile strength of wide strip steel (including sheared steel plate) is not used as delivery condition” and “Q235 class B steel of which the thickness is smaller than 25mm may be exempted from inspection, with the consent of the buyer, and if the supplier can ensure that the impact absorbed energy is qualified” are added in the footnotes of Table 2; - The provision of nitrogen content in the steel is modified; - The provision of impact test is modified, and the figure of the minimum impact absorbed energy of the samples of which the thickness is 5mm-10mm is added; - The group-batching is changed from “the same furnace-kettle number” to “the same furnace number”, and the limitation for the furnace number of mixed batch is deleted.
