For Q235 steel, Q represents the yield limit of this material, and the following 235 refers to the yield value of Q235 steel, which is about 235 MPa. The A572 grade 42 CS steel carbon plate, Q235 steel yield strength decreases with the increase of the thickness of the material.
Vanadium element (V element) can refine grains in ordinary low carbon alloy steel, improve the strength and yield ratio and low temperature characteristics after normalizing, and improve the welding performance of steel, A572 grade 42 CS steel carbon plate included. Vanadium element (V element) is often used in combination with manganese, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten and other elements in structural steel because of its low hardenability under general heat treatment conditions. Vanadium in quenched and tempered steel is mainly to improve the strength and yield ratio of steel, refine the grain size, and pick up the overheating sensitivity.
Steel A572 grade 42 CS steel carbon plate exports fell sharply year on year. According to the data of the General Administration of customs, 7.811 million tons of steel were exported from January to February, a year-on-year decrease of 27.0%; 2.041 million tons of imported steel, a year-on-year increase of 2.1%. Steel prices continue to fall. According to the monitoring of China Iron and Steel Industry Association, China's steel A572 grade 42 CS steel carbon plate composite price index at the end of January was 105.48 points, down 0.58% month on month; at the end of February, the index continued to decline to 100.39 points, down 4.83% month on month.
