Q345 is a kind of steel material. It is carbon alloy steel (C<0.2%), good="" overall="" performance="">
Widely used in Bridges, vehicles, ships, buildings, pressure vessels, etc.
Q represents the yield of this kind of material. 345 in the back refers to the yield value of this kind of material, which is about 345MPa. The yield value decreases with the increase of the thickness of the material.
345 Steel Properties and Introduction
Q345 steel is a Chinese GB standard Low Alloy High Strength Structural Steel, material density is 7.85 g/cm3, tensile strength is 470-630 Mpa, and yield strength is 345 MPa (datasheet tested with 16mm diameter steel bars or steel plates). According to GB/T 1591 – 2008, Q345 material has 5 quality grades: Q345A, Q345B, Q345C, Q345D and Q345E. “Q” is the first letter of Chinese Pinyin: “qu fu dian”, which means Yield Point, “345” is short for 345 MPa. For datasheet and specification, please see the tables below.

Steel Plates, Strength That Lasts
High alloy steel and low alloy steel differ mainly in alloy content and properties. High alloy steel contains more than 8% alloying elements, such as chromium, nickel, or molybdenum. This gives it excellent hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for tools, turbines, and chemical equipment. Low alloy steel has less than 8% alloying elements, often including manganese, silicon, or vanadium. It offers improved strength, toughness, and weldability compared to carbon steel, while being more cost-effective than high alloy steel.
No, low alloy steel is not the same as stainless steel. Low alloy steel contains less than 8% alloying elements, such as manganese, nickel, chromium, or vanadium, which improve strength, toughness, and hardenability. However, its corrosion resistance is limited, so it usually requires protective coatings or surface treatments.
Stainless steel, on the other hand, is a type of high alloy steel with at least 10.5% chromium. The chromium forms a thin, stable oxide film on the surface, giving stainless steel excellent corrosion resistance and making it suitable for food processing, medical instruments, and marine environments.
In short, while both are alloy steels, stainless steel is a high alloy with superior corrosion resistance, whereas low alloy steel focuses on strength and cost-effectiveness.
