Tank body, we use Q345R as raw material 

tank-body-q345r副本.jpg

Steel Q345-R, as a widely used low alloy high-strength structural steel, represents the yield strength with "Q" in its grade, while "345" indicates that the yield strength (in megapascals, MPa) of this steel under 

standard test conditions reaches 345MPa. The subsequent "R" symbol specifically indicates that the steel is suitable for container manufacturing, 

that is, it has good welding performance and certain high-temperature resistance characteristics, and is suitable for the production of pressure vessels, storage tanks and other equipment.

The characteristics of Q345-R steel include:

1. Mechanical properties: In addition to having a yield strength of no less than 345MPa, it also has good tensile strength, generally up to 470-630MPa, as well as good toughness, plasticity, and weldability, ensuring 

the safety of components under complex stress states.

2. Chemical composition: As a low alloy steel, Q345-R contains small amounts of alloying elements such as manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), etc. The addition of these elements can significantly 

improve the comprehensive mechanical properties of the steel without significantly increasing its weight, ensuring strength while reducing the structural weight.

3. Corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance: Although Q345 series steel is mainly designed for room temperature environments, Q345-R has certain corrosion resistance and resistance to medium and 

low temperatures (usually from room temperature to about 400 ℃) through specific composition adjustments and heat treatment, making it suitable for manufacturing containers that can withstand certain temperature and pressure.

4. Processing performance: Good cold forming and welding performance make Q345-R easy to process into various complex shaped components, meeting different engineering needs, especially in the fields of chemical, petroleum, 

energy, etc. It has a wide range of applications.

In practical applications, Q345-R steel needs to undergo strict quality control and testing to ensure that its various performance indicators comply with relevant national standards (such as GB/T 713), in order to ensure its safety 

and reliability under design and usage conditions. Whether it's building large oil storage tanks, high-pressure vessels, or industrial boilers, Q345-R is a trusted choice for engineers.
