JIS G3106 Hot Rolled for Welded Structure SM490YA Steel

What is SM490YA Steel? SM490YA Steel is a material designation defined in JIS G3106 standard, SM490YA Steel is a Hot Rolled Steel for Welded Structure. SM490YA Steel is in the form of plates, sheets & strips for architecture, engineering structures.  JIS G3106 is a Japanese material standard for hot rolled steel for welded structure steel plates, sheets, strips for Architecture, Engineering Structures.

Dimensional Characteristics of SM490YA steel: The applicable thickness for this SM490YA steel material as defined in the JIS G3106, it is from 6 mm to 300 mm.

The Chemical Composition of SM490YA Steels: JIS G3106 defines the percentage of chemical composition of SM490YA steel steels as under:

Maximum Carbon (C) percentage is 0.20

Maximum Manganese (Mn) percentage is 1.65

Maximum percentage of Phosphorous (P) is 0.035

Maximum percentage of Sulphur (S) is 0.035

Maximum percentage of Silicon (Si) is 0.55

Remaining is iron (Fe) percentage and with few negligible impurities.
