التسخين المسبق M270M Gr.250 — H16، Low HI، ≤ 20 mm: 150°F

M270M Gr.250 / M270 Gr.36

AASHTO M270M Gr.250 (M270 Gr.36) is the metric/US customary designation for the basic structural bridge steel with 250 MPa (36 ksi) minimum yield. It is the direct bridge equivalent of ASTM A709 Gr.36, procured under AASHTO M270 with mandatory Charpy V-notch testing per temperature zone. Used for secondary bridge members — lateral bracing, diaphragm plates, floor beam stiffeners, and bearing components where Gr.345 strength is not needed. Non-fracture-critical preheat follows Table 6.3 Group 1; fracture-critical follows Tables 12.4/12.5 with hydrogen and heat input as additional variables.

فهم التسخين المسبق FC لـ M270M Gr.250 / M270 Gr.36

Basic 250 MPa (36 ksi) bridge steel for secondary members. Under D1.5 fracture-critical requirements (Clause 12), the combination of H16 hydrogen designation and this heat input band requires 150°F minimum preheat at ≤ 20 mm (3/4 in). Lower hydrogen levels (H4 < H8 < H16) allow lower preheat because less hydrogen enters the weld deposit. Similarly, higher heat input reduces preheat requirements because slower cooling rates give hydrogen more time to diffuse out.

أين يُستخدم M270M Gr.250 / M270 Gr.36

Specified for secondary bridge members under AASHTO LRFD — lateral bracing angles, diaphragm plates, floor beam stiffeners, bearing seat components, and railing posts. Gr.250 (36) requires CVN testing per AASHTO temperature zone, distinguishing it from plain ASTM A36 by guaranteeing fracture resistance at the bridge design service temperature. Transverse stiffener fillet welds and floor beam web-to-flange joints are high-frequency fabrication details. Temperature zones (1 through 3) determine CVN test temperature: Zone 1 at 21°C (70°F) for moderate climates, Zone 2 at 4°C (40°F) for cold, Zone 3 at -12°C (10°F) for severe cold.

التحكم في الهيدروجين H16 لـ M270M Gr.250 / M270 Gr.36

H16 designation (16 mL/100g max) on Gr.250 (36) is the highest hydrogen level permitted for FC bridge welding. For Gr.250 secondary members, H16 is sometimes specified when using self-shielded FCAW (E71T-8) for field connections where gas shielding is impractical — the resulting higher preheat is accepted as the cost of field weldability.

لماذا يهم التسخين المسبق عند ≤ 20 mm (3/4 in)

Material up to 20 mm (3/4 in) covers most cross-frame angles, stiffener clips, lateral bracing members, and light bridge plate. At this thickness, hydrogen diffusion is efficient and preheat requirements are the lowest in Table 6.3 — 10°C (50°F) for both groups. In FC service, this thickness tier also carries the lowest preheat in Tables 12.4–12.7, starting at 40°C (100°F) for H4 consumables.

M270M Gr.250 / M270 Gr.36 عند ≤ 20 mm (3/4 in)

Gr.250 (36) at up to 20 mm is the lightest bridge fabrication scenario — cross-frame angles, stiffener clips, and lateral bracing gussets. Hydrogen diffusion through this thin section is rapid, so preheat has the least influence on cracking resistance. Most fabricators use E7018 SMAW for short fillet welds at this thickness because the joint lengths are too short for mechanized FCAW setup to be economical. Interpass monitoring is minimal at this tier because heat builds slowly in thin plate.

تسخين مسبق أعلى بتصنيف H16

المواد المستهلكة H16 تسمح بحد أقصى 16 مل من الهيدروجين القابل للانتشار لكل 100 غ — أعلى مستوى مسموح به للحام FC للجسور. عند ≤ 20 mm (3/4 in) بمدخل حراري 1.2–2.0 kJ/mm، التسخين المسبق 150°F (70°C) يعوض عن إمكانية الهيدروجين الأعلى.
