Product Overview
Q345GNH Wearhering Steel Plate is a high-strength, low-alloy atmospheric corrosion-resistant steel, produced in accordance with the Chinese standard GB/T 4171.

Q345 – Minimum yield strength of 345 MPa
GNH – Denotes enhanced weathering performance and specific surface treatment requirements
By adding copper, chromium, nickel, and other alloying elements, this steel forms a stable and dense oxide protective layer in outdoor environments, significantly improving its atmospheric corrosion resistance.
Unlike ordinary carbon steel, Q345GNH Wearhering Steel Plate requires less frequent maintenance and can retain its appearance and performance for decades in harsh conditions.
