By Jim Gibbins - 1st February 2019
Sweden / USA – Stockholm-based SSAB, the specialist steel producer with interests in Finland and across North America, is to introduce a new addition to its range of 1100 MPa Strenx performance steels at the Bauma event in Munich. Strenx 1100 Plus is a new hot-rolled, high-strength strip steel possessing unique weld properties, claimed to deliver outstanding welding and bending performance. Improved weld seam strength contributes to lighter, stronger and more environmentally friendly equipment with better performance in the transportation and lifting industries.
SSAB said traditional weld seams can represent weak links in the highest grades of structural steels, but it claims Strenx 1100 Plus, virtually eliminates this as the strength, elongation and impact toughness properties of the welded area meet the minimum guarantees of the parent material.
