JIS G3454 - industrial steel pipe
Explore the properties, applications, and specifications of SS400 steel tubes, a widely used mild steel grade under JIS G3101 standard, known for its excellent weldability and versatility in structural applications.
SS400 steel offers several advantages:
SS400 is a Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS G3101) grade of mild steel widely utilized in structural applications. It is renowned for its excellent weldability and machinability, making it suitable for various fabrication processes.
JIS SS400 hollow pipe is mainly used for general structural purposes, such as bridges, buildings, machinery and other fields. The steel pipe has good weldability, processability and formability, and can be processed and produced by welding, cutting, bending and other processing methods. In addition, the chemical composition and mechanical properties of JIS SS400 galvanized steel pipes have certain requirements, such as carbon content not exceeding 0.22%, sulfur content not exceeding 0.050%, tensile strength not less than 440MPa, etc.
While SS400 steel is versatile, it may not be suitable for applications requiring high wear resistance or hardness due to its low carbon content. It is advisable to consult with material specialists or engineers to ensure the chosen material meets the specific requirements of your application.
SS400 steel tubes are a reliable choice for a wide range of structural applications, offering a balance of strength, weldability, and cost-effectiveness. Understanding its properties and specifications can aid in selecting the appropriate material for your project needs.

SS400 is extensively used in structural applications such as building frames, bridges, and other construction components due to its strength and weldability. Its versatility also makes it suitable for manufacturing parts that require bending, forming, or welding.
This steel grade exhibits good weldability and machinability, allowing for ease in fabrication and assembly in various structural projects.
While SS400 has modest corrosion resistance, it is often coated or painted to enhance its durability in corrosive environments.
When selecting SS400 or its equivalents for a project, it's essential to consider the specific requirements and standards applicable to ensure optimal performance and compliance.
JIS SS400 hot-dip galvanized steel pipe is a structural carbon steel pipe produced in accordance with the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS), where SS400 is the grade in the standard, indicating that the yield strength of the steel pipe is approximately 400MPa.

Steel pipe delivery status(condition): cold / hard (BK), cold / soft (BKW), after cold stress relief annealing (BKS), annealing (GBK), normalized (NBK).
| Term | Symbol | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Cold-finished/hard (cold-finished as-drawn) | BK | No heat treatment after the last cold-forming process. The tubes therefore have only low deformability. |
| Cold-finished/soft (lightly cold-worked) | BKW | After the last heat treatment there is a light finishing pass (cold drawing). With proper subsequent processing, the tube can be cold-formed (e.g. bent, expanded) within certain limits. |
| Annealed | GBK | After the final cold-forming process the tubes are annealed in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum. |
| Normalized | NBK | The tubes are annealed above the upper transformation point in a controlled atmosphere or under vacuum. |
The general cold strip mills, volume should go through continuous annealing (CAPL unit) to eliminate cold hardening and rolling stress, or batch annealing reach the mechanical properties of the corresponding standard specifies. Cold rolled steel surface quality, appearance, dimensional accuracy better than hot-rolled plate, and right-rolled thin product thickness is about 0.18mm, so the majority of users favor.
Cold rolled steel coil substrate products deep processing of high value-added products. Such as electro-galvanized, hot dip galvanized, electro-galvanized fingerprint resistant, painted steel roll damping composite steel, PVC laminating steel plates, etc., so that the excellent quality of these products has a beautiful, high resistance to corrosion, has been widely used.
