EN 10113/3-1993 Processability and surface quality of hot-rolled products of weldable fine-grained structural steels

Weldable fine grain steels heat-treated improved properties of the hot-rolled products according to EN 10113/3-1993 offer a combination of high yield strength and good deformability, thus making them suitable for engineering applications. These steels feature a low carbon content and an equivalent Yield Strength (R eH) of up to 460 MPa.

The advantages of weldable fine grain steels are an improved toughness available over the entire section thickness and a reduced hardening tendency after welding. As a result of their lower carbon contents, they can be welded with conventional welding consumables and electrodes. Weldable fine-grained steels are therefore suitable for welding without any re-heating processes.

The excellent processability of weldable fine grain steels allows for parts to be stretched and rolled to customer requirements. Additionally, the steels feature a high level of formability and tear resistance, making them suitable for parts with complex shapes. The surface quality of these steels is also excellent, allowing for greater resistance against corrosion and wear.

In conclusion, weldable fine grain steels heat treated improved properties according to EN 10113/3-1993 offer a combination of high strength, good deformability and excellent surface quality. These steels are suitable for various engineering applications, are easy to weld and can be rolled to customer requirements, making them a cost-effective and durable solution.
