rief Introduction Of Low Alloy High Strength Steel 16Mn 


Many steel material buyers purchase steel plate in China, especially high strength low alloy steel. 16Mn is kind of C-Mn steel, its carbon content is from 0.1% to 0.25% and with some alloy elements such as manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), vanadium (V), niobium (Nb), titanium (Ti) and other elements. 16 Mn is a kind of low alloy steel with large output and the most extensive application. This kind of steel can be used as the alternative material of many kinds of steel.Today we introduce 16Mn as your reference for purchasing steel plate in China.


As a old Chinese standards, 16Mn is edited from GB 1591-1988 "low alloy structural steel", has now been replaced by Q345. Low alloy steel Q345 steel has 5 quality grades, which are represented by from  Q345A to Q345E. It can be said that Q345 steel is the substitution of old brand steel of 12MnV, 14MnNb, 18Nb, 16MnRE, 16Mn and other steel types, rather than only 16Mn steel.

What’s The Difference Between 16Mn And Q345?

The chemical element of Q345 steel is basically the same as that of 16Mn steel. The difference lies in the addition of Ti, Nb and V micro alloying elements, which can refine grain, improve toughness, and finally improve the mechanical properties of steel. In other words, the comprehensive mechanical properties of Q345 steel are better than that of 16Mn steel, especially its low temperature performance and allowable stress.
