Microalloyed steels (HSLA)
These are steels with a low carbon content, high elasticity and low alloy (Nb and V) level.
They are characterised by good internal cleanliness and fine grain size. They are used in a wide range of applications such as transport, cladding, construction, but especially in the automotive industry as a substitute for structural steels with the benefits of reducing weight and increasing safety in vehicles.
CHARACTERISTICS:
- Chemical composition and mechanical properties as per EN 10149.
- Good cold forming.
- Improved weldability compared to structural steel (same Re)
- High Fatigue resistance.
- Highly suitable for galvanisation.
- High Resilience levels at low temperatures.
- Not suitable to be standardised.
