M270M Gr.345S予熱 — H8、Mid HI、≤ 20 mm: 100°F

M270M Gr.345S / M270 Gr.50S

AASHTO M270M Gr.345S (M270 Gr.50S) is the structural shape variant of Gr.345, intended for rolled W-shapes and channels used in bridge framing. The "S" suffix indicates the shape-specific chemistry and mechanical property requirements. Used in cross-frame angles, diaphragm members, and built-up sections where rolled shapes are specified rather than plate. Preheat requirements match Gr.345 — Table 6.3 Group 1 for NFC, Tables 12.4/12.5 for FC applications.

M270M Gr.345S / M270 Gr.50SのFC予熱を理解する

Shape-grade 345 MPa (50 ksi) steel for rolled bridge members. Under D1.5 fracture-critical requirements (Clause 12), the combination of H8 hydrogen designation and this heat input band requires 100°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.

M270M Gr.345S / M270 Gr.50Sの使用箇所

Used as rolled W-shapes and channels in bridge cross-frames, diaphragm members, and built-up sections. The "S" shape designation indicates procurement under AASHTO M270 with shape-specific chemistry and mandatory CVN testing. Common applications include WT sections for cross-frame members, MC channels for diaphragms, and W-shapes for floor beams on shorter spans. Weld details are primarily fillet welds at gusset connections and clip angles.

M270M Gr.345S / M270 Gr.50SにおけるH8水素管理

For Gr.345S (50S) rolled shapes, H8 is adequate for most connection details where the weld length is short and access allows proper preheat application. Cross-frame gusset connections rarely justify the cost premium of H4 consumables when H8 meets the FC preheat budget.

≤ 20 mm (3/4 in)で予熱が重要な理由

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.

≤ 20 mm (3/4 in)でのM270M Gr.345S / M270 Gr.50S

Gr.345S (50S) shapes under 20 mm flange thickness include WT sections for K-frame cross-frames and MC channels for diaphragms. The rolled section geometry concentrates stress at the flange-to-web fillet, making proper preheat at gusset connections critical for fatigue performance. SMAW E7018 is the typical process for shape-to-plate connections in bridge subassemblies because of limited access around shape flanges.
