Structural carbon steel of ordinary quality VSt3sp

At any metallurgical plant that produces steel and alloys of various grades, you will certainly be offered inexpensive carbon structural steel of ordinary quality, which is used literally everywhere. The VST3 brand is used for the production of standard load-bearing and non-load-bearing elements of welded and non-welded structures, which are operated at temperatures from -40 to +425°C. This material has no restrictions on weldability, is not prone to temper brittleness, and is characterized by relatively high corrosion resistance. In addition, it is a fairly durable metal, which for convenience is available in three versions: normal strength, increased strength and high strength.

VST3 steel, produced in accordance with GOST 380-71, has the following chemical composition (in percent):

  • carbon – 0.14-0.22
  • manganese – 0.4-0.65
  • chrome – 0.3
  • nickel – 0.3
  • copper – 0.3
  • silicon – 0.05-0.17
  • arsenic up to 0.08
  • sulfur – 0.05
  • phosphorus – 0.04

Brand VSt3sp – purpose

Structural carbon steel of ordinary quality VSt3sp is used for the manufacture of parts, non-load-bearing/load-bearing components of welded/prefabricated structures operating at positive temperatures.

Additional information:

1. Sheet/shaped rolled products of category 5 with a cross-section up to 10mm – load-bearing components of welded structures operating under variable loads at temperatures of -40 +4250C.

2. Rolled products with a cross-section of 10–25 mm – load-bearing components of welded structures with guaranteed weldability, operating in the temperature range -40 +4250С.

Application of VST3 steel


In relation to welding work carried out using any type of welding equipment, this steel is extremely convenient: it does not require preheating. The ease of processing can also be seen in stamping work, which can be carried out with the material in both hot and cold states. In general, VST3 structural steel is indispensable for both builders and metal processors. 1-10 mm rolled steel is used for the manufacture of frames, frames, shields, casings and covers of industrial machines, i.e. parts that do not experience heavy loads and operate without friction.

A separate modification of st3gsp is used for the production of angles, channels and I-beams; Load-bearing elements of welded structures are made from St3ps material. Structural steel is also reinforcement that is obtained after calibrating hot-rolled rods. Cold rolling makes it possible to obtain drawn steel, from which clamps, frames, mounting fittings, wire, mesh, water and gas pipes, etc. are subsequently produced.

Interpretation of steel grade VSt3ps

Interpretation of steel: The letter B at the beginning denotes a group of steel that determines the tensile strength criteria for the chemical composition. Steel, in the name starting with the letter B, the strength is 20-30 MPa lower than steel of group A. The following letters St. indicate that the steel is of ordinary quality, although most steels are high quality. The numbers from 0 to 6 are the conventional brand number depending on the chemical composition and mechanical properties. Typically, the higher the number, the more carbon and the greater the strength. In our case, 3 indicates the carbon content in the alloy is 0.14–0.22%. The letters after the brand number indicate the degree of deoxidation: ps - semi-calm.
