Mechanical Properties & Processing (GB/T 28410-2012)
| Property | Specification |
|---|---|
| Grade | Q620FT E |
| Yield ReL ≥ (≤16 mm) | 620 MPa |
| Yield ReL ≥ (16~40 mm) | 620 MPa |
| Yield ReL ≥ (40~100 mm) | 600 MPa |
| Tensile Rm (all thickness) | 710 ~ 880 MPa |
| Elongation A ≥ | 15% |
| Impact KV2 (-40°C, Grade E) ≥ | 34 J (longitudinal) |
| Bending 180° (thickness ≤16 mm) | d = 2a |

Notes:
1. When yield strength is not significant, Rp0.2 may be used instead of lower yield strength.
2. For thickness >60 mm, elongation after fracture may be reduced by 1%.
3. Impact test uses longitudinal specimens (standard).
4. Impact temperature by grade: B 20°C, C 0°C, D -20°C, E -40°C, F -50°C.
