Scope

GB/T 28906-2025 is the English-translated version of 冷镦钢热轧盘条.

GB/T 28906-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering the rod from which bolts, screws and studs are cold headed, 5 mm to 52 mm — the ML grades including the boron-bearing and the non-quenched-and-tempered ones, the sulphur and phosphorus limits, the mechanical properties and the low temperature impact, the decarburisation, the hardenability read from the Jominy end quench, the surface quality and the scale that a header will drag into the die, and the dimensions and coil weight. It replaces GB/T 28906-2012, under the China Iron and Steel Association. In force from 1 October 2025. Issued on 28 March 2025, it has been in force since 1 October 2025, replacing GB/T 28906-2012.

--The sulfur and phosphorus contents have been changed (see Chapter 7, Chapter 6 of GB/T 28906-2012);

--Changed the grades of quenched and tempered cold heading steel hot rolled wire rods, adjusted according to GB/T 6478-2015, and added ML38, ML50, ML40Mn2, ML45Mn2, ML30CrMnSi, ML15CrMo, ML42CrMo, ML20CrMoV, ML35CrMoV, Ten grades of ML42CrMoV (see 7.1.3, 6.1.4 of GB/T 28906-2012);

--Added boron-containing quenched and tempered grades, including ML23B, ML28B, ML33B, ML38B, ML45B, ML20CrB, ML25CrB, ML35VB eight grades (see 7.1.3);

--The scope and composition of non-adjustable steel have been changed (see 7.1.4, 6.1.1 of GB/T 29087-2012);

--Added the residual molybdenum content requirement (see 7.1.5);

--Changed the mechanical property requirements (see 7.2.2.2, 7.2.3.1, 6.4.2 of GB/T 28906-2012, GB/T 29087-2012 of 6.5);

--Added low temperature impact performance requirements (see 7.2.3.2);

--Changed the requirements for macrostructure (see 7.7, 6.8 of GB/T 28906-2012);

--Added recommended quenching temperature and Rockwell hardness values at different distances from the quenching end (see 7.8);

--Changed the surface quality requirements (see 7.9, 6.9 of GB/T 28906-2012);

--Added size requirements (see 7.10.2);

--The coil weight of wire rod has been changed (see 7.10.3, 5.2 of GB/T 28906-2012);

--Added requirements for iron oxide scale (see 7.11);

--The test method has been changed (see 8.1, 8.2, Chapter 7 of GB/T 28906-2012).
