Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is the difference between Q235B and S355JR?
Q235B is a Chinese standard grade with a minimum yield strength of 235 MPa, suitable for general structural use. S355JR is a European standard grade with higher yield strength (355 MPa) and better toughness, often preferred for offshore structures requiring lower temperature impact resistance. -
Can these plates be used for offshore drilling platforms?
Yes, both grades are suitable for offshore platforms when properly designed. S355JR is commonly used for primary structural members due to its higher strength and impact properties. Additional certification (e.g., DNV, ABS, Lloyd's) can be arranged upon request. -
What surface treatments are available?
Standard options include black (as-rolled), pickled and oiled, or shot-blasted and primed. Galvanizing is also available upon request for corrosion protection. -
Do you provide third-party inspection?
Absolutely. We can arrange inspection by SGS, BV, or other independent agencies at the buyer's request. Our ISO9001 system also supports internal quality checks. -
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
For standard sizes, MOQ is typically 25 metric tons per size. Custom sizes may have higher MOQ depending on the production setup. We are flexible for trial orders. -
How long does delivery take?
Delivery time depends on the quantity and specifications. For standard plates, it is usually 15-25 days after deposit. Custom orders may require 30-45 days. We work closely with logistics to ensure timely shipment. -
Can you provide material certificates?
Yes, a mill test certificate (MTC) according to EN 10204 Type 3.1 or 3.2 (if required) is provided with each shipment. -
Are these plates suitable for welding with common methods?
Yes, both Q235B and S355JR have good weldability using SMAW, GMAW, SAW, etc. Preheating is generally not required for thicknesses up to 40mm, but we recommend consulting your welding procedure for thicker sections.
