Ön Isıtma M270M Gr.345S — H4, High HI, 40–60 mm: 150°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 için FC Ön Isıtmayı Anlama

Shape-grade 345 MPa (50 ksi) steel for rolled bridge members. Under D1.5 fracture-critical requirements (Clause 12), the combination of H4 hydrogen designation and this heat input band requires 150°F minimum preheat at 40–60 mm (1½–2½ 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.345S / M270 Gr.50S Nerede Kullanılır

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.

Shape-grade Gr.345S (50S) benefits from H4 at gusset-to-shape connections where access for torch preheat is limited by flanges and stiffeners. The lower preheat achievable with H4 reduces the thermal management complexity in tight spaces typical of cross-frame subassemblies.

40–60 mm (1½–2½ in)'de Ön Isıtma Neden Önemlidir

Material from 40 to 65 mm (1-1/2 to 2-1/2 in) covers heavy girder flanges, thick splice plates, and main member plate. This is the critical thickness range for bridge fabrication — preheat reaches 65°C (150°F) for Group 1 and 80°C (175°F) for Group 2. FC preheat at this thickness can exceed 200°C (400°F) depending on hydrogen level and heat input.

40–60 mm (1½–2½ in)'de M270M Gr.345S / M270 Gr.50S

Gr.345S (50S) shapes at 40–65 mm flange thickness are heavy built-up members — typically W14×426 or similar jumbo sections used as pier cap beams or transfer girders. The thick flanges of these shapes require full preheat per the heavy-section tier. Welding on thick rolled sections is complicated by residual stresses from rolling — preheat helps mitigate the cumulative effect of rolling residual stress plus welding shrinkage stress.
