Remarks: ＊ With respect to the standards in the table above, it is possible to add the following special requirements upon request.
1）When necessary, alloying elements other than those shown in the tale may be added. ① SR guaranteed steel (-SR), ② Lamellar tear-resistant guaranteed steel (-Z35, etc.), ③ Low-temperature specifications
2）Carbon equivalent, Ceq, and weld crack sensitivity, PCM, are calculated for added elements using the following equation.
< below the stipulated impact test temperature service> (-LT), ④ Constant yield strength specifications (-H)
Ceq=C+Si/24+Mn/6+Ni/40+Cr/5+Mo/4+V/14（%）
PCM=C+Si/30+Mn/20+Cu/20+Ni/60+Cr/20+Mo/15+V/10+5B（%） (Example of specified specifications: WEL-TEN590-SR, etc.)
The bending test can be eliminated unless otherwise specified.

High Tensile Steel Plates for Building Structures: BT–HT Series

TM

The BT-HT (BUILTENTM) series is high tensile strength steel that has no decrease in yield point even in thicker
guage. Almost all of this series is manufactured by applying an accelerated cooling process (TMCP). While it
is high tensile strength steel, it has excellent weldability and to date it has been applied in various architectural
structures.

Fire-resistant Steel Plates for Building Structures: NSFR Series

TM

The NSFR series is steel that has extremely high proof stress even in high temperatures. With the NSFR
series, fireproof covering can be greatly reduced, and depending on the fire conditions and design
conditions of the architectural structure, it is possible to design uncoated steel-frame buildings. To date, it
has been applied in many cases.

＊ The performance of this steel in normal temperatures satisfies the applicable JIS, so it will be marketed as a JIS product. Remarks:
＊ This steel has low carbon levels, so it is stipulated by PCM, and thus Ceq does not apply. 1）When necessary, alloying elements other than those shown in the tale may be added.
2）Weld crack sensitivity, PCM, is calculated for added elements using the following equation.

For welded structure members at risk of lamellar tear, the oc-
currence of lamellar tear can be suppressed with countermea-
sures related to the welding procedure and the use of lamellar
tear-resistant steel.

annealing the end face with a gas burner.

be said that the smaller the minimum bend radius, the better the
workability of the steel plate. Moreover, the greater the thickness
of the steel plate, the greater the minimum bend radius. Thus,
thick steel plates are more difficult to bend than thin steel plates.
The steel plates produced by NIPPON STEEL are manufac-
tured to be especially easy to form, so our steel sheets have an
outstanding reputation in the industry. Of course, there is a limit
to formability according to the forming method used. Should your
