Composition characteristics of Q420 alloy steel plate: 1.Low carbon: Due to the high requirements for toughness, weldability and cold forming performance, its carbon content does not exceed 0.20%. 2. Add manganese-based alloy elements. 3. Add auxiliary elements such as niobium, titanium or vanadium, which is beneficial to obtain fine ferrite grains and improve the strength and toughness of the Q420 alloy steel, SM490B carbon steel plate sheet.

The chemical composition difference between SM490B carbon steel plate sheet, Q235B and 20# steel is as follows: The chemical composition of 20# steel: C: 0.17-0.23%, Si: 0.17-0.37%, Mn: 0.35-0.65%, Cr: ≤ 0.25%, Ni: ≤ 0.30%, Cu: ≤ 0.25%. Chemical composition of Q235B steel: C: ≤ 0.20%, Si: ≤ 0.35%, Mn: ≤ 1.40%, P: ≤ 0.045%, S: ≤ 0.045%. The difference of mechanical properties between SM490B carbon steel plate sheet, Q235B and 20# steel is as follows: The mechanical properties of 20# steel: tensile strength 410 MPa; yield strength 245 MPa; elongation after fracture: 25; reduction of area: 55; no impact.
