| Property | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Product Name | Square Steel Bar / Square Steel Billet | Hot-rolled or cold-drawn solid square cross-section steel bar |
| Material Grade | Q235B / Q355B / S235JR / A36 / SS400 | Q235B ≈ S235JR (EN) ≈ A36 (ASTM); Q355B ≈ S355JR (EN); SS400 (JIS) |
| Standard Compliance | GB/T 702, EN 10060, ASTM A36, JIS G3101 | Compliant with Chinese GB, European EN, American ASTM and Japanese JIS standards |
| Chemical Composition (C) | ≤ 0.22% (Q235B) / ≤ 0.20% (Q355B) | Carbon content controls hardness and weldability |
| Chemical Composition (Mn) | 0.30–0.70% (Q235B) / 1.00–1.60% (Q355B) | Manganese improves strength and toughness |
| Chemical Composition (P/S) | P ≤ 0.045% / S ≤ 0.045% | Low P and S content ensures better ductility and impact resistance |
| Chemical Composition (Si) | ≤ 0.35% (Q235B) / ≤ 0.55% (Q355B) | Silicon acts as a deoxidizer and strengthening element |
| Tensile Strength | 370–500 MPa (Q235B) / 470–630 MPa (Q355B) | Per GB/T 700 and GB/T 1591; higher grade offers superior load-bearing capacity |
| Yield Strength | ≥ 235 MPa (Q235B) / ≥ 355 MPa (Q355B) | Minimum yield strength at thickness ≤ 16 mm per GB/T 700 / GB/T 1591 |
| Elongation | ≥ 26% (Q235B) / ≥ 20% (Q355B) | Measured on gauge length L₀ = 5.65√S₀; indicates ductility performance |
| Size Range | Side: 10 mm – 200 mm; Length: 3 m – 12 m | Custom cutting available; tolerance per GB/T 702 Class A/B or EN 10060 |
| Surface Finish | Black (hot-rolled), Pickled, Galvanized, Painted | Hot-rolled mill scale surface standard; anti-corrosion coatings available on request |
| Application | Construction, machinery frames, fencing, gratings, general fabrication | Widely used in structural supports, railings, agricultural equipment and industrial frameworks |
| Certification | ISO 9001:2015, Mill Test Certificate (MTC) per EN 10204 3.1 | Third-party inspection (SGS, BV, TÜV) available upon request |
| Packaging | Bundled in 1–3 MT per bundle, steel-strapped | Waterproof paper or plastic film wrapping optional for export shipment |
| MOQ | 1 MT (spot) / 25 MT (container load) | Price varies by grade, size, quantity and delivery terms (EXW / FOB / CIF) |
Placed an order for 30 tons of Q345 square bars, 150mm × 150mm, 6-meter lengths for heavy equipment support structures. On arrival at Jebel Ali, our QC team found that roughly 8% of pieces in one bundle had width deviations slightly outside the GB/T 702 tolerance band. We raised a formal NCR with photos. The supplier responded within 48 hours, acknowledged the issue, and arranged replacement pieces on the next shipment at no additional cost. The replacement material was correct. The resolution process was professional, but the initial quality lapse added two weeks to our project timeline. Cautiously optimistic about future orders given how they handled it.
