Applications
"Steel Bones" in the Construction Field
Hot rolled steel sheet ss400 is widely used in industrial plants, warehouses, steel structure beams, columns, trusses, platforms, stairs and other load-bearing and non-load-bearing components. Its reliable strength and excellent weldability are the core guarantee of building safety.
A solid foundation for mechanical equipment manufacturing
As an ideal material for various equipment frames, bases, protective covers, hoppers, and conveying equipment components, SS400 balances strength, processability, and cost.
A reliable partner for the vehicle and transportation industry
Hot rolled sheet ss400 is commonly used in truck chassis parts, car frame, trailer components, etc., effectively controlling the weight of the vehicle body while ensuring the load-bearing capacity.
A wise choice for general structural parts
Mild carbon steel is suitable for many occasions that require stable structural support, such as shelves, workbenches, brackets, frames, fences, simple bridges, etc.
Significant processing convenience advantages
Carbon steel coil is extremely suitable for conventional processing such as shearing, punching, bending, drilling, welding (arc welding, gas shielded welding, etc.), which significantly reduces the manufacturing difficulty and labor cost.

Key factors for selecting high-quality suppliers
Quality assurance is the bottom line: Make sure that the supplier can provide a material certificate (MTC) that meets the JIS G 3101 standard and has a complete quality control system. Original materials from well-known large steel mills are reliable endorsements of quality.
Complete specifications to meet needs: High-quality suppliers should be able to flexibly provide a variety of thickness (common 1.5mm - 200mm+), width (common 1000mm, 1219mm, 1250mm, 1500mm, 1800mm, 2000mm, etc.), length (usually 6000mm, but also customizable) options, and be able to handle custom cutting requirements.
Professional services create value: Seeking suppliers who can provide professional material selection advice, processing technology support, and logistics solutions, their added value often far exceeds the product itself.
Transparent and competitive prices: Under the premise of ensuring quality, market-competitive prices and transparent pricing methods are essential.

Questions ◢
-
Q.
What grade is SS400 equivalent to in China?
A.
SS400 is closest to the Q235B grade in the Chinese national standard (GB/T 700) in terms of chemical composition and mechanical properties, and is often regarded as an equivalent grade. However, specific applications still require attention to standard detail differences and customer requirements.
-
Q.
Can SS400 be bent? What are the requirements for the bending radius?
A.
Yes, SS400 has good cold bending performance. The minimum bending radius usually depends on the plate thickness (t). Generally speaking, for a 90-degree bend, the recommended minimum inner bending radius is about 1.0t - 1.5t (i.e. 1 to 1.5 times the plate thickness). More precise requirements require reference to specific processing specifications or process tests.
-
Q.
Is SS400 steel plate easy to weld? Does it need to be preheated?
A.
SS400 has excellent weldability due to its low carbon content and is a commonly used steel for welded structures. For most conventional thicknesses (e.g. ≤ 25mm) and welding at normal ambient temperatures (e.g. SMAW, GMAW), preheating is usually not required. However, in severe cold environments, thick plate welding, or when there is a large degree of restraint, it is recommended to consider appropriate preheating measures based on the welding procedure qualification (WPS).
-
Q.
Is SS400 steel plate corrosion-resistant?
A.
SS400 is a carbon structural steel and does not have inherent strong corrosion resistance. Its surface will rust in corrosive environments such as humidity, acid rain, coastal or industrial pollution. If corrosion resistance is required, weathering steel (e.g. SPA-H, Corten) or stainless steel should be selected, or SS400 should be surface treated (e.g. spray paint, hot-dip galvanizing).
-
Q.
How to distinguish the genuine SS400 hot-rolled plate?
A.
The most reliable basis is to check the original material certificate (MTC) provided by the supplier, which should clearly indicate the brand (SS400), standard (JIS G 3101), furnace batch number, specification, chemical composition, actual mechanical property values and the stamp of the steel mill. At the same time, observing the surface quality (flatness, oxide scale state) and edge condition of the plate is also an auxiliary means of judgment. Choosing a reputable large trader or purchasing directly from the steel mill is an effective way to ensure the authenticity of the product.
