16Mn Steel is a carbon-manganese steel, carbon content of 0.16%, the yield point is equal to 343MPa (strength level belonging to 343MPa). Less the 16Mn steel alloy content, good weldability, and generally do not have to warm-up before welding.Its total alloy content is less than 3%. According to the strength, it is divided into 4 levels of 300, 350, 400 and 450MPa. There are mainly Q235, Q345, Q390, Q420, Q460. : "Q" is the initial Chinese pinyin of the word "qu" for yielding, the following number is the minimum yield point (σs) value of the grade, and the following symbol is based on the increase in the content of impurity elements (sulfur, phosphorus) of the steel It is divided into four grades A, B, C, D when it is low and with the change of carbon and manganese elements. Among them, A and B grade steels are usually called 16Mn.
16Mn is a material in steel. A name for steel material.
16Mn steel belongs to carbon-manganese steel, the carbon content is about 0.16%, and the yield point is equal to 343MPa (strength grade belongs to 343MPa grade). 16Mn steel has less alloy content and good weldability. Generally, it is not necessary to preheat before welding . However, because the hardening tendency of 16Mn steel is slightly greater than that of low-carbon steel, preheating measures must be taken to prevent cold cracks when welding at low temperatures (such as outdoor operations in winter) or on large rigid and large thickness structures .

16Mn is kind of C-Mn steel, its carbon content is from 0.1% to 0.25% and with some alloy elements such as manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), vanadium (V), niobium (Nb), titanium (Ti) and other elements. 16 Mn is a kind of low alloy steel with large output and the most extensive application. This kind of steel can be used as the alternative material of many kinds of steel.
As a old Chinese standards, 16Mn is edited from GB 1591-1988 "low alloy structural steel", has now been replaced by Q345. Low alloy steel Q345 steel has 5 quality grades, which are represented by from Q345A to Q345E. It can be said that Q345 steel is the substitution of old brand steel of 12MnV, 14MnNb, 18Nb, 16MnRE, 16Mn and other steel types, rather than only 16Mn steel. Their corresponding foreign maters are showed below:
| GB | ASTM | JIS | EN | DIN |
| Q345A | Grade 50 | SPFC 590 | E335(St 52-3) | 1.0060 |
| Q345B | Grade 50 | SPFC 590 | S355JR | 1.0045 |
| Q345C | Grade 50 | SPFC 590 | S355JO | 1.0553 |
| Q345D | Grade 50 | SPFC 590 | S355J2 | 1.0577 |
| Q345E | Grade 50 | SPFC 590 | S355NL | 1.0546 |
The chemical element of Q345 steel is basically the same as that of 16Mn steel. The difference lies in the addition of Ti, Nb and V micro alloying elements, which can refine grain, improve toughness, and finally improve the mechanical properties of steel. In other words, the comprehensive mechanical properties of Q345 steel are better than that of 16Mn steel, especially its low temperature performance and allowable stress.

Why the application of alloy steel pipe is wider than others
There are many kinds of materials used for transport in industrial production. Specifically we will have more choices and it is not limited to the use of alloy steel pipe. But even in the face of more choices, many people tend to choose alloy steel pipe. People make their own choices will have their own reasons. This means the alloy steel pipe application has its own advantages. Compared with transmission lines made of other materials, after it meets the basic application requirements, its quantity is lighter. Then in the practical application of alloy steel pipe, it will have more advantages because of this. Besides its physical characteristic advantage, it also has economic advantages. The wide application of alloy steel pipe is with kinds of reasons. So in practical usage, we can exploit the advantages to the full, in this way can we get more profits in these applications of alloy steel pipe.
The transportation of kinds of gases or liquids in production needs to rely on alloy steel pipe. This shows that the actual role of alloy steel pipe application is important. High temperature resistant and low temperature resistant is the tolerance of temperature. In the practical application of alloy steel pipe, there will be many materials need to be transported. However their temperatures are not the same. So this can be the basic requirement to alloy steel pipe. It needs more corrosion resistance. Corrosion resistant material is the best material during transporting, because it is corrosion resistant. So it can be used in more occasions. And it is definitely very convenient for users.

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. |

Alloy steels are made by combining carbon steel with one or several alloying elements, such as manganese, silicon, nickel, titanium, copper, chromium and aluminum. These metals are added to produce specific properties that are not found in regular carbon steel. The elements are added in varying proportions (or combinations) making the material take on different aspects such as increased hardness, increased corrosion resistance, increased strength, improved formability (ductility); the weldability can also change.
Commonly used alloying elements and their effects are listed in the table given below.
