GB/T 16270 Q690E Introduce

Steel is the world's most important material. It is found in virtually every modern structure, from the bridges we drive over to the skyscrapers that dominate man-made skylines. Steel is an alloy of iron and a range of other elements, and its properties depend on the amounts and types of elements that make up the alloy. GB/T 16270 Q690E steel is a high performance structural steel made from a variety of components, including iron, carbon, chromium, manganese, and vanadium.

Smelting temperature:1621°C - 1571°C

GB/T 16270 Q690E Material Machining Technology

The recommended machining processes for GB/T 16270 Q690E steel include turning, drilling, sawing, milling, and grinding. For turning, carbide and ceramic tools should be used to reduce tool wear and improve surface finish. For drilling, high-speed steel, cobalt, and tungsten carbide twist drills should be used. For sawing, carbide-tipped saws are the best choice. For milling, tungsten carbide end mills should be used. For grinding, diamond-tipped wheels should be used to achieve a high level of surface finish.
