The invention relates to weather-resistant bridge steel with yield strength not less than 345 MPa and a preparation method thereof. The weather-resistant bridge steel with the yield strength not lessthan 345 MPa comprises the following components of, in percentage by weight, 0.07%-0.11% of C, 0.15%-0.30% of Si, 0.80-1.20% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.015% of P, less than or equal to 0.005% of S, 0.01-0.04% of Al, 0.20-0.40% of Cr, 0.20-0.40% of Cu, 0.20-0.50% of Ni, 0.020-0.050% of Nb, 0.010-0.040% of Ti and the balance Fe and inevitable impurities; and the preparation method comprises thefollowing steps of
smelting,
slow cooling, heating, rolling, cooling and stacking and cooling. According to the weather-resistant bridge steel with the yield strength not less than 345 MPa and the preparation method thereof, the low-cost micro-alloying design is adopted, the production period is short, the cost is low, popularization and application are facilitated, the weather-resistant bridge steel has excellent
welding performance, strong
toughness and strong
plasticity matching performance, low
yield ratio,
corrosion resistance,
weather resistance,
welding performance and anti-fatigue performance, compared with traditional weather-resistant steel, the
weather resistance is improved by one time or above, the weather-resistant bridge steel can replace the traditional high-strength
weathering steel, and can be applied to the fields of bridges, outdoor
tower frames and the like without
coating, so that the use cost and the maintenance cost are reduced.
