S355JR coil standards and various defects

S355JR coil is a low-alloy high-strength structural steel widely used in construction, machinery manufacturing, ships, bridges, and other fields. However, during production, processing, or use, various defects may occur in S355JR coils. The following are some common defects:

1. Chemical Composition Deviation: If the chemical composition is not strictly controlled according to standards, such as excessive carbon equivalent or insufficient manganese content, it may affect the welding performance and impact toughness of the coil.

2. Uneven Thickness: Inconsistent thickness of the coil may lead to reduced load-bearing capacity of structural components, affecting overall performance.

3. Surface Defects: Including scale, rust, scratches, pits, etc. These defects may affect the appearance and corrosion resistance of the coil.

4. Internal Defects: Such as inclusions, bubbles, white spots, cracks, etc. These defects are inside the coil and are not easily detected but may severely affect the material's integrity and durability.

5. Excessive Flatness Deviation: If the flatness of the coil exceeds the standard specifications, it may affect subsequent processing and forming.

6. Sickle Bend: The bending of the coil edge not being straight may affect the accuracy of welding and assembly.

7. Poor Coil Shape (Tower Shape): Waviness in the width direction of the coil, affecting the flatness and performance of the material.

8. Dimensional Deviation: Deviations in length, width, or diagonal dimensions beyond the allowable range may affect the assembly and connection of structural components.

9. Performance Below Standard: Mechanical properties such as yield strength, tensile strength, or elongation not meeting standard requirements, affecting the load-bearing capacity of the coil.

10. Heat Treatment Issues: Such as insufficient normalizing or tempering, which may affect the microstructure and mechanical properties of the coil.

11. Coiling Defects: Defects such as tower shape, loose coils, or misalignment may occur during the coiling process.

12. Unclear Identification: Unclear or missing identification on the coil may lead to misuse of the material or difficulty in traceability.

To ensure the quality of S355JR coils, manufacturers need to implement strict quality control, including chemical composition analysis, mechanical performance testing, non-destructive testing, etc. Users should also conduct necessary inspections before use to ensure the material meets engineering requirements. If defects are found, timely communication with the supplier and appropriate remedial measures should be taken.
