EN 10028-6 P550QH Introduce
EN 10028-6 covers hot-rolled flat steel products for pressure vessel applications. The steel standard covers the requirements for products in plate form, usually in the form of steel plates and sheets. This standard does not apply to other forms of flat steel such as sheets and plates that are used in the fabrication of pressure vessels.
Smelting temperature:1156°C - 1723°C
Application:Pressure flat steel products - Part 6: Weldable fine grain steel, quenched and tempered

EN 10028-6 P550QH Material Mechanical Properties
EN 10028-6 P550QH steel has excellent corrosion resistance, making it a popular choice for applications which require long-term protection from the elements. It is highly resistant to corrosion from acids and alkalis, as well as from chloride and sulfide environments. This property makes it particularly useful for outdoor applications, as it will not be damaged by the effects of moisture, salt, or dust. It is also resistant to stress corrosion cracking, making it an excellent choice for applications which must withstand high levels of stress.

EN 10028-6 P550QH Material Machining Technology
The cost of machining EN 10028-6 P550QH steel depends on the type of steel, the complexity of the machining process, the number of parts, and the required tolerances. Generally, manual machining is more expensive than CNC machining because of the need for more human labor hours. Additionally, the cost of machining EN 10028-6 P550QH steel is influenced by the cutting tools used. For example, high-speed steel (HSS) tools are cheaper and can be used to quickly produce parts at a lower cost, but they are also less durable and have a shorter lifespan. On the other hand, carbide tools are expensive, but they offer greater durability and can create complex parts with finer details at a higher accuracy.
