High Strength Steel

 

High Strength Steel

High-strength plates lead to weight savings and optimized weldability.

Machines and buildings are becoming ever larger. When you double the values of length, width and height of a component, the weight grows by a factor of 8, while the supporting cross-sectional area only grows by a factor of 4. This doubles the stress, which is calculated with the weight divided by the cross-sectional area. High-strength steels are capable of supporting these higher stresses and simultaneously lead to decreased weight of the component.

This product is ideal for components requiring high strength and toughness. It is widely used for specially designed cranes, trailer frames, hoist and many other similar machines.
