Q215 is a type of carbon structural steel that complies with the Chinese national standard GB/T 700-2006. The "Q" in its name stands for yield strength, while "215" indicates a minimum yield strength of 215 MPa, which decreases gradually as the thickness of the steel increases. Its chemical composition is primarily low carbon (carbon content ≤0.15%), with sulfur and phosphorus content controlled according to grades A and B. It possesses good plasticity, toughness, and weldability, and is typically used directly in the hot-rolled or normalized state.
