A283/Q195 Carbon Steel Plate
ASTM A283 is a standard specification for low and intermediate tensile strength carbon steel plates of structural quality for general application. It covers four grades (A, B, C, D) with incrementally higher minimum yield and tensile strength requirements. Q195 is a comparable Chinese standard (GB/T 700) grade, often supplied as an equivalent.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Purchasing Manager
"We've been cooperating with Yonggang Steel for three years, and the product quality has always been consistently stable and reliable. Whether it's the tensile strength of the rebar or the dimensional accuracy of the profiles, they fully meet national standards, and some even surpass those of our competitors. Delivery times have never been delayed, especially for urgent orders. The sales team responds 24/7, and logistics are efficient, saving us considerable time and costs. I highly recommend them to any partner who needs high-quality steel!"
Technical Director
"We produce high-precision equipment, and we have high requirements for the material and processing performance of the steel." "Extremely high. Yonggang Steel's technical team customized steel plates with a special alloy ratio according to our needs, solving our long-standing problem of heat treatment deformation. Their professional service and rapid response make them a supplier we can trust long-term!"
Project Manager
"In the Yonggang high-speed rail project, Yonggang Steel provided full-service, one-stop service. From material selection and on-site technical guidance to after-sales testing, dedicated personnel were assigned to each step. Especially during the pandemic, they coordinated resources from multiple parties to ensure supply and maintain project progress. A company like this deserves to thrive!"
Plant Owner
"Even small-batch orders can enjoy VIP treatment! Yonggang Steel's sales team didn't treat our small orders carelessly; instead, they recommended a more material-saving cutting solution based on our processing techniques, helping us reduce material waste by 15%. Transparent pricing and flexible payment terms are incredibly friendly to SMEs!"
Export Trading Manager
"Export orders have strict requirements for material certification and packaging. Yonggang Steel's quality inspection reports are detailed and standardized, and the packaging uses rust-proof treatment and wooden pallets for reinforcement. There was no rust after three months of sea freight. Last year, we exported 3,000 tons of H-beams to Southeast Asia, and the customer had zero complaints during acceptance. This year, we've already increased our order to 8,000 tons!"
