Q275FTE Wind Turbine Tower Steel Plate

Q275FTE is a high-strength structural steel plate manufactured in accordance with GB/T 28410-2012, specifically designed for wind turbine tower construction requiring superior load-bearing capacity and extreme low-temperature toughness. This grade provides higher yield strength (275 MPa) compared to Q235 series, excellent weldability, and guaranteed impact properties at -40°C, making it ideal for wind power installations in arctic, subarctic, and high-altitude regions requiring exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and cold resistance.

Bending Test (180°)
Thickness ≤ 16mm		 d = 2a
Bending Test (180°)
Thickness ＞ 16~100mm		 d = 3a
Notes:
1. When yield strength is not significant, Rp0.2 can be used instead of lower yield strength.
2. When the thickness is > 60mm, the elongation after fracture can be reduced by 1%.
3. The impact test uses longitudinal specimens.
4. Impact test temperatures corresponding to different quality grades: B: 20℃, C: 0℃, D: -20℃, E: -40℃, F: -50℃.
