Application of steel grade C255

Builders distinguish 4 groups of building metal structures, classified according to the degree of their responsibility and the conditions of their operation. The most demanding is the first group, which includes welded structures forced to work in particularly difficult conditions, including those exposed to fairly large vibration, dynamic and moving loads. In this case, it is allowed to use only the steel grade C255 we are considering, as well as C285, C345 or C375.


The first group includes such structures as elements of bridge spans, power transmission line supports, crane beams, unloading and bunker overpasses, transport galleries, trusses, etc.

One of the important characteristics of construction rolled steel 3 is its resistance to brittle fracture. To confirm these properties, samples of steel sheets undergo impact bending tests at decreasing temperatures.

The level of resistance to brittle fracture of rolled sheets in accordance with GOST 27772 is guaranteed by the required value of impact strength (KCU - when tested for impact bending with a U concentrator). For steels smelted according to EN standards, this value is the fracture coefficient (KV).

Application area.

Carbon steel of ordinary quality is intended for the production of hot-rolled products: long-rolled, shaped, thick-sheet, thin-sheet, wide-rolled and cold-rolled thin-sheet, as well as ingots, blooms, slabs, rounds, rolled and continuously cast billets, pipes, forgings and stampings, strips, wires, hardware and etc.

Classification.

Carbon steel of ordinary quality is produced in the following grades: St0, St1kp, St1ps, St1sp, St2kp, St2ps, St2sp, St3kp, St3ps, St3sp, St3Gps, St3Gsp, St4kp, St4sp, St4ps, St5ps, St5sp, St5Gps, St6ps, St6sp.

The letters St stand for steel.

The numbers 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are the conventional brand number depending on the chemical composition. Increasing the number means increasing carbon content and tensile strength.

The degree of deoxidation of steel is indicated by letters after the numbers:

kp – boiling;

ps – semi-calm;

sp – calm;
