Properties and composition analysis of SM400A SM400B and SM400C steel plate

Properties and composition analysis of SM400A SM400B and SM400C steel plate

SM400A, SM400B and SM400C comply with the Japanese standard JIS G 3106, and the raw materials are general carbon structural steel plates. A B and C are the three quality grades of the SM400 grade. The quality level A represents no impact, B represents 20℃ impact at room temperature, and C represents 0℃ impact.

Chemical composition of SM400 steel plate:
when thickness ≤ 20mm, chemical composition (mass fraction) /%
C≤0.23; Si -; Mn≤2.5*C; P≤0.035; S≤0.035
When the thickness is between 50-200mm, chemical composition (mass fraction) /%
C≤0.25; Si -; Mn≤2.5*C; P≤0.035; S≤0.035
To be exact, the carbon content varies with the thickness

Requirements for carbon equivalent of SM400 steel plate:
Thickness ≤: 50mm, carbon equivalent,%: ≤ 0.44
Thickness > 50 ≤ 100mm, carbon equivalent,%: ≤0.47.

Thickness performance of SM400A SM400B and SM400C steel plate: Z15, Z25, Z35, such as SM400B-Z15, SM400B-Z25, SM400B-Z35, SM400C-Z15, etc.
