Details of the characteristics, production, and application of Q345D hot-rolled seamless square steel pipe

Q345D hot-rolled square steel pipe and Q345D hot-rolled seamless square steel pipe are indispensable and important materials in modern industry. They are widely used in many fields such as construction, machinery manufacturing, bridges, automobiles, ships, etc. With their unique performance and wide applicability, they have become the leaders in the steel market.

First, the characteristics of Q345D hot-rolled square steel pipe and Q345D hot-rolled seamless square steel pipe.

Q345D is a low-alloy high-strength structural steel. The "Q" in its grade represents the yield point, "345" means the yield strength is 345MPa, and "D" means that the impact toughness can still meet the requirements at -20℃. This steel not only has good mechanical properties and welding properties, but also has high fatigue strength and corrosion resistance.

Q345D hot-rolled square steel pipe is a square cross-section steel pipe made by the hot rolling process, with the characteristics of uniform wall thickness, smooth surface, and precise size. Its cross-sectional shape is stable and its bearing capacity is high, which is suitable for structural parts bearing large loads. Q345D hot-rolled seamless square steel pipe is a square or rectangular cross-sectional steel pipe obtained by hot rolling on the basis of seamless steel pipe. This kind of steel pipe not only inherits the high strength and excellent mechanical properties of seamless steel pipe, but also has the advantages of flexible cross-sectional size, uniform wall thickness, and smooth inner and outer surfaces.

Second, the production process of Q345D hot-rolled seamless square steel pipe.

The production process of Q345D hot-rolled square steel pipe and Q345D hot-rolled seamless square steel pipe mainly includes raw material preparation, heating, perforation, rolling, sizing, cooling, finishing, and inspection. In the raw material preparation stage, standard Q345D steel plates or billets need to be selected as raw materials. The heating stage is to heat the raw materials to a suitable temperature to improve their plasticity and reduce deformation resistance. Perforation is to perforate the heated raw materials through a perforator to form a hollow tube billet. The rolling process is to roll the perforated tube billet through the rolling mill multiple times, so that it gradually deforms into the required square or rectangular cross-section. Sizing is to accurately adjust the rolled steel pipe through the sizing machine to ensure that its size meets the standard. The cooling process is to quickly cool the rolled steel pipe to improve its hardness and strength. Finishing is to surface treat and adjust the size of the cooled steel pipe to meet the specific needs of customers. Finally, after a strict inspection process, ensure that the quality of the steel pipe meets the relevant standards.

Third, the application field of Q345D hot-rolled seamless square steel pipe.

Q345D hot-rolled square steel pipe and Q345D hot-rolled seamless square steel pipe are widely used in many fields due to their excellent performance. In the field of construction, they are used as supporting columns, beams, trusses, and other components of steel structure buildings, with the advantages of strong bearing capacity and good seismic performance. In the field of machinery manufacturing, they are used as supporting frames, transmission shafts, hydraulic cylinders, and other components of mechanical equipment, with the characteristics of high precision and good wear resistance. In bridge construction, they are used as the main beams, crossbeams, longitudinal beams, and other components of bridges, with the advantages of light weight, high strength, and good corrosion resistance. In the field of automobile manufacturing, they are used as components such as car frames, beams, suspension systems, etc., with the characteristics of high strength and good toughness. In the field of shipbuilding, they are used as the skeleton, deck, bulkhead, and other components of the hull, with the advantages of good corrosion resistance and strong bearing capacity.

Fourth, the market status of Q345D hot-rolled seamless square steel pipe.

With the continuous advancement of national infrastructure construction and the acceleration of industrial upgrading, the market demand for Q345D hot-rolled square steel pipe and Q345D hot-rolled seamless square steel pipe continues to grow.
