Q345 Metal Specifications
Uses of Q345
Q345 has excellent mechanical properties, good performance in low temperatures, and excellent weldability and plasticity. It is most commonly used in building structures, low-pressure vessels, cranes, mechanical parts, bridges, ships, petroleum storage tanks, lifting machinery, power stations, mining machinery, general metal parts, and in other structures that are exposed to temperatures of -40 ℃ or below or experience high-loads.Q345 Physical Properties
