Introduction and Application Scenarios of GB/T 1591 Q460E Steel

GB/T 1591 Q460E steel plate is a type of high-strength low-alloy structural steel plate. Below is a detailed introduction to it along with its application scenarios:
Naming and Standards
"Q" represents yield strength.
"460" indicates that the yield strength of this steel plate reaches 460 MPa.
"E" signifies that the steel plate has undergone an impact test at -40°C (common grades are C, D, and E, where E represents good impact toughness at -40°C).
It complies with the Chinese GB/T 1591 standard.
Application Scenarios of Q460E Steel Plate
Bridge Construction
Used in the manufacture of key components such as main beams, cross beams, longitudinal beams, and bridge decks.
These components have high requirements for material strength and toughness. The high strength and good welding performance of Q460E steel plate can significantly enhance the load-bearing capacity and seismic performance of bridges.
Architectural Field
Used in the manufacture of frame structures and support systems for high-rise buildings, as well as the main parts of building structures such as large factories and stadiums.
The use of Q460E steel plate can reduce the self-weight of buildings, improve their safety and stability, and simultaneously meet the high requirements of modern architecture for material strength and durability.
Machinery Manufacturing
Used in the manufacture of bases, brackets, and transmission components for large machinery and equipment.
These components need to bear large loads and stresses. The high strength and good processing performance of Q460E steel plate can meet these requirements, improving the load-bearing capacity and service life of equipment.
Shipbuilding
Used in the manufacture of components such as hulls and decks.
Ships need to withstand the effects of complex environments such as wind and waves during navigation. The high strength and good toughness of Q460E steel plate can ensure the structural safety of ships.
Energy Sector
Used in the manufacture of structural components for various energy equipment, such as oil and gas pipelines and pressure vessels.
These equipment have high requirements for material strength and corrosion resistance. Q460E steel plate can meet these requirements, ensuring the safe operation of energy equipment.

Additionally, GB/T 1591 Q460E steel plate is also widely used in vehicle manufacturing, boiler manufacturing, high-pressure vessel manufacturing, and various large-scale steel structure projects.
