Delivery Conditions

The delivery condition is Q+T (Quenched and Tempered). Strenx® Plus is supplied in as rolled surface condition, pickled surface is available in a limited thickness range.

Delivery requirements can be found in SSAB’s brochure Strenx® Guarantees or on www.ssab.com.

Fabrication and Other Recommendations

Welding, bending and machining

Strenx® Plus has very good weldability with good toughness and strength in the welds. Strenx® Plus has good forming and cutting performance.

Strenx® Plus is not suited for applications requiring hot working or heat treatments at temperatures above 400°C, since the material then may lose its guaranteed properties.

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.
