High Fatigue Strength Limit, Air Corrosion Resistant, Abrasion Resistant Steels
TRUMAX (EN 10149-2, EN 10051, EN 10025-6, EN 10029, EN 10163-2) ultra-high strength, high fatigue strength limit structural steels have application across a variety of industries. TRUMAX steels also offer exemplary mechanical characteristics without the need for quenching and are noted for their high ratio of the yield to ultimate tensile strength (YS/UTS). Other characteristics include:
-
Fine-grain size and high metal fatigue strengths limits
-
Cross-section strength distribution of large sections is homogeneous and identical at both the edges and middle
-
Acid and/or air corrosion resistant options (TRUMAX F Series) and good machinability with excellent surfaces
-
Superior critical-stress release after the yield point
-
Even with ultra-high usability strength, free “weldability” is retained.
Superior Weldability and Heat Resistance
To fully reap the benefit of any UHSS, it is critical the welded joint resemble the same properties. Giflo’s unique technology means our steels offer best in class weldability, retaining impressively high yield/tensile strength ratios and usability strength. The ALS independent transverse welded joint butt test results below demonstrate TRUMAX F1000’s impressive weldability with excellent HAZ strength and toughness. Note below the yield strength (Rp0,2 MPa) of the 4.2mm sheet post-weld was fractionally less (0.29%) than the uncut sheet sample.
