What material is Q195 steel

What material is Q195 steel?

Q195 steel is a kind of carbon structural steel. The min. yield strength of Q195 steel is 195 MPa. Q195 steel strength is lower than that of Q235 steel. Of course, the Q195 steel price is also cheaper. Q195 steel is mainly used in fields such as architecture, structure, motorcycle frame, etc.

Q195 steel in Chinese national standard means "yield strength σs = 195 MPa".
Chemical composition of Q195 steel: C ≤ 0.12, Si ≤ 0.30, Mn ≤ 0.50, P ≤ 0.035, S ≤ 0.040.

The tensile strength and elongation of Q195 steel are 390 MPa and 30% respectively.
