Oxygen is a harmful element in A588 Gr B HSLA steel plate steel. With the increase of oxygen content, the strength of A588 Gr B HSLA steel plate steel increased, but the plasticity, especially the toughness, decreased significantly, and the weldability became worse. The presence of oxygen causes hot brittleness of A588 Gr B HSLA steel plate steel.
The difference of chemical composition between A588 Gr B HSLA steel plate, Q420D steel and Q460D steel: Chemical composition of Q420D steel: C ≤ 0.20, Si ≤ 0.50, Mn ≤ 1.70, P ≤ 0.030, S ≤ 0.025, Nb ≤ 0.07, V ≤ 0.20, Ti ≤ 0.20, Cr ≤ 0.30, Ni ≤ 0.80, Cu ≤ 0.30, N ≤ 0.015, Mo ≤ 0.20, Al ≥ 0.015. Chemical composition of Q460D steel: C ≤ 0.20, Si ≤ 0.60, Mn ≤ 1.80, P ≤ 0.030, S ≤ 0.025, Nb ≤ 0.11, V ≤ 0.20, Ti ≤ 0.20, Cr ≤ 0.30, Ni ≤ 0.80, Cu ≤ 0.55, N ≤ 0.015, Mo ≤ 0.20, B ≤ 0.004, Al ≥ 0.015. The difference of mechanical properties between A588 Gr B HSLA steel plate, Q420D steel and Q460D steel: The mechanical properties of Q420D steel: yield strength ≥ 420 MPa, tensile strength 500-680 MPa. The mechanical properties of Q460D steel: yield strength ≥ 460 MPa, tensile strength 500-720 MPa.

Its responsibilities: make customs clearance documents, track products production process, and update shipping information for customers. The company will adhere to the mission of reflecting social values, take the scientific management system as the guarantee of daily operations, and provide continuous technological innovation to support its sustainable development.
It is not the thicker the steel plate is, the better. The larger steel plate thickness means higher price and purchase cost, and it is also not inconvenient for transportation. Besides, the thickness of A588 Gr B HSLA steel plate, steel plate has relation to the safety, so the thickness of steel plate is not determined at random, and the size data of steel plate should be strictly planned according to the requirements of drawings. Therefore, it is necessary to select the appropriate steel plate material and specification according to the use.
