BQ960 Seamless CHS, RHS, SHS, Hollow Sections

BQ960 ultra high strength seamless hollow sections, Beverly Steel decode your projects requirement and gay sauna only supply from world class mills producer with Lloyd’s Register-LR, ABS, BV, DNV, GL, KR certifications and with its high yield strength of 960MPa, tensile strength of 980MPa and impact test property in longitudinal direction of test temperature -45 degree C at average joules of 30 which meet the requirement of your projects such as mobile crane, marine crane, oil rig crane, tower structural, military equipment, search and rescue industries and other engineering application where critical weight needed to be reduced with high stress resistance such as in lifting arms and structural weight handling system.

For the above mentioned applications, high-performance steels (fine-grain and high-strength steels) with excellent strength resistance and resilience values are used, which means that the livinglearningbooks.com stress resistance of the systems can be increased, thus also guaranteeing their use in extreme environmental conditions.

Furthermore, the chemical composition of our seamless steel tubes is carefully controlled in order to guarantee good weldability, a fundamental issue for structures made of tubular components welded together. High-strength and decoration-vitrine com extra high strength seamless steel hollow sections are also used in steel constructions for civil engineering purposes where the relationship between mass and space occupied is especially critical.

Nearest Equivalent Grade : S890 tube, S890 Hollow Sections

Our supply range of hollow profile shapes are RHS, SHS, CHS, Elliptical, Half-Elliptical, Flat-Oval, Octagonal, Hexagonal and Triangular.

When tube dimension do not allow full size testing, sub-size specimens shall be used according to PSP00148.

Weldability

The steel grades indicated in the specification are weldable with traditional welding procedures, given observance of the generally accepted technical rules. It is important to define a welding procedure that takes into account the following conditions :

- Thickness of the based material

- Specific heat input (specially for HAZ)

- Design requirements

- Welding method

- Welded material characteristics

Particular precautions should be taken towards crack susceptibility, which is more likely to happen with high thickness and high resistance. This phenomenon is connected mainly to the following factors :

- Chemical analysis (by means of CEV)

- The amount of diffusible hydrogen in the welded material

- Tensile stress concentrations at the welded joint

CEV - Carbon Equivalent Value

The maximum CEV (Carbon Equivalent Valued) is determined, based on the cast analysis, by the following formula : CEV = C + Mn/6 + (Cr+Mo+V)/5 + (Ni+Cu)/15

The CEV shall comply with valued stated in the table
