| UC | Uncoated (cold rolled, CR, S3) |
| UC | Uncoated (Hot rolled and pickled, HR, S2) |
Surface is slightly oiled to protect it from corrosion during transportation and short-term storage. By request, tubes can be delivered dry, however in that case SSAB will not be responsible for any possible rust.
| Designation | Ra value |
|---|---|
| UC, CR | < 0.6 μm |
| UC, HR | < 2.0 µm |
The tubes are not intended to undergo any heat treatment after welding and sizing as that may alter the mechanical properties of the material.
The tubes are oiled with anti-corrosive oil.
For information concerning fabrication, see SSAB´s brochures on www.ssab.com or consult Tech Support.
Appropriate health and safety precautions must be taken when bending, welding, cutting, grinding or otherwise working on the products.
