M270M Gr.250 पूर्वतापन — H16, Mid HI, > 60 mm: 325°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.

M270M Gr.250 / M270 Gr.36 के लिए FC पूर्वतापन को समझना

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 325°F minimum preheat at > 60 mm (> 2½ 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.

M270M Gr.250 / M270 Gr.36 कहाँ उपयोग होता है

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.

M270M Gr.250 / M270 Gr.36 के लिए H16 हाइड्रोजन नियंत्रण

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.

> 60 mm (> 2½ in) पर पूर्वतापन क्यों महत्वपूर्ण है

Material over 65 mm (2-1/2 in) includes the heaviest bridge girder flanges and box-section walls. Table 6.3 requires 110°C (225°F) for both groups at this thickness. Extended preheat soak time is necessary to achieve uniform through-thickness temperature. FC preheat for the heaviest sections reaches 180–200°C (350–400°F) at the H16 hydrogen level.

> 60 mm (> 2½ in) पर M270M Gr.250 / M270 Gr.36

Gr.250 (36) above 65 mm is rare — typically only in large bearing assemblies or rehabilitation projects repairing older bridges where original plate was overspecified. Preheat soak-through at 225°F requires flame heating on both sides for 15–20 minutes on plate this thick. The cost of preheat compliance at this thickness often triggers a design review to consider switching to Gr.345 which achieves the same capacity with thinner, lighter sections.

H16 पदनाम पर अधिक पूर्वतापन

H16 उपभोज्य प्रति 100g में 16 mL तक विसरणशील हाइड्रोजन की अनुमति देते हैं — FC पुल वेल्डिंग के लिए अनुमत उच्चतम स्तर। 2.0–2.8 kJ/mm ऊष्मा इनपुट के साथ > 60 mm (> 2½ in) पर, 325°F (160°C) पूर्वतापन उच्च हाइड्रोजन क्षमता की भरपाई करता है। H8 या H4 उपभोज्य पर स्विच करने से इस जोड़ के लिए आवश्यक पूर्वतापन कम होगा।
