The invention discloses low-yield-ratio and high-
toughness bridge steel and a preparation method, relates to the technical field of low-
alloy and high-strength structural steel, and aims to solve the problems that bridge construction has higher requirements on steel performance when developing towards the directions of light weight, large span, high speed,
heavy load and the like, and traditional bridge steel is high in
yield ratio and cost due to the fact that a large amount of Cr, Mo and other
alloy elements are added. The bridge steel with excellent comprehensive mechanical properties is developed by optimizing the
alloy element ratio, combining offline
quenching, two-phase region treatment and
tempering processes and accurately regulating and controlling structure transformation and the proportion of all phases, the yield strength of the bridge steel is larger than or equal to 780 MPa, the tensile strength is larger than or equal to 870 MPa, the
yield ratio is smaller than or equal to 0.85, the
ductility is larger than or equal to 16%, the
impact energy at the temperature of 40 DEG C below zero is larger than or equal to 120 J, and the steel can be used for manufacturing bridges. The high-strength and low-yield-ratio bridge steel has high strength, low
yield ratio and good
welding performance, breaks through the
bottleneck of the traditional technology, provides key material support for bridge steel and structural industry upgrading, and promotes green and efficient bridge construction development.
