JIS G3101 SS400/SS490/SS540 Carbon Steel Plate: Industrial Applications & Mechanical Properties
Material Overview & Key Advantages
JIS G3101 SS400/SS490/SS540 represents Japanese-standard carbon steel plates for general construction, machinery, and automotive frameworks. With yield strengths ranging from 245 MPa (SS400) to 400 MPa (SS540), these grades prioritize cost efficiency and ease of fabrication while meeting JIS G3101 compliance.
Core Benefits:
- Weldability: Low CEV* (≤0.35 for SS400) reduces preheat requirements.
- Global Equivalents: ASTM A36 (SS400), EN 10025-2 S275JR (SS490), GB/T 700 Q345B (SS540).
- Surface Versatility: Compatible with galvanizing, painting, and powder coating.

| Phosphating | 2–5µm crystalline layer (ISO 9717) | Automotive chassis |
Industrial Applications
1. Construction & Architecture
- Warehouse Frames: SS400 beams (thickness 6–30mm, yield ≥235 MPa).
- Stair Handrails: SS490 laser-cut profiles (Ra ≤3.2µm surface).
2. Automotive Manufacturing
| Component | Material Grade | Key Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Truck Axles | SS540 | Fatigue strength >300 MPa |
| Engine Brackets | SS490 | Vibration damping ≤0.5mm |
3. Machinery Components
- Conveyor Rollers: SS400 seamless tubes (HB 130–170 hardness).
- Hydraulic Presses: SS540 forged plates (thickness 50–150mm).
Quality Assurance
- Testing Protocols:
- Tensile tests at 0.2% offset (JIS Z2241).
- Eddy current testing for surface defects (JIS G0582).
- Certifications:
- JIS Mark (Japan Industrial Standards).
- ISO 9001:2015 quality management.
Delivery & Storage
- Dimensions:
- Width: 1,000–3,000mm (max length: 12m).
- Thickness tolerance: ±0.2mm (cold-rolled), ±1.0% (hot-rolled).
- Packaging: VCI paper + wooden pallets (12-month rust warranty).
Welding Advisory: Use JIS Z3211 D4313 electrodes with 50–80°C preheat for SS540*
Scope of Application
JIS G3101 scope of application: JIS G3101 steel plate and other steel grade products are suitable for general structural buildings, such as bridges and ships.
