GB/T Q550NH Weathering Steel
By adding controlled amounts of copper, chromium, nickel, and phosphorus, the steel develops a stable, dense oxide film-commonly called a "patina"-when exposed to alternating wet and dry conditions. This natural protective layer slows down further rusting, reducing or even eliminating the need for heavy coatings in many environments.
Typical Chemical Composition (%):
| Element | C | Si | Mn | P | S | Cu | Cr |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ≤0.12 | 0.20–0.55 | 0.50–1.50 | 0.030–0.120 | ≤0.020 | 0.20–0.50 | 0.40–0.80 | ≤0.65 |
Typical Mechanical Properties:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Yield Strength ≥ | 550 MPa |
| Tensile Strength | 630–780 MPa |
| Elongation (δ5) ≥ | 15% |
In industrial construction, Q550NH is widely applied in large-span bridges, offshore platforms, port equipment, wind turbine towers, heavy-duty cranes, high-rise building frameworks, railway wagons, and container manufacturing. It is especially valuable in marine or coastal zones, industrial areas with high air pollution, or high-altitude locations where environmental stress on materials is severe.
Engineers often choose Q550NH for three main reasons:
High Strength & Efficiency – Supports lighter, more economical designs without compromising safety.
Weathering Resistance – Extends service life even in aggressive climates.
Lower Life-Cycle Cost – Reduces maintenance needs thanks to the self-forming protective layer.
