Strenx® Workshop
Pushing the limits of the steel and design solutions requires high consistency and precision of the steel to secure the performance and safety of the product.
Through constant process improvements we are able to deliver Strenx steel with a unique set of guarantees for thickness, flatness and bending properties.
Through constant process improvements we are able to deliver Strenx steel with a unique set of guarantees for thickness, flatness and bending properties. Strenx guarantees are your safeguard for trouble-free production, day after day, year after year. And the material can be processed by the same kind of machinery and technology used for conventional steel.
SSAB is the world’s most experienced producer of high-end quenched and tempered steels. Strenx steel’s extreme cleanness, lean alloy solution and high-quality manufacturing processes have great impact on toughness, fatigue strength and performance in sub-zero conditions.
Since Strenx is stronger, it can be used in thinner dimensions to make lighter structures. It improves the final product, and it brings benefits along the way. Thinner material usually means less welding and faster production. Everyday handling in the workshop becomes lighter, and there is less steel to take up storage space.
When new design and innovative solutions require new and smarter production methods, you can always turn to SSAB Tech Support for guidance and recommendations. We are happy to provide you with expert advice on materials and processing when you are developing new and improved applications.
Strenx Guarantees
Strenx guarantees cover thickness tolerances, flatness tolerances and bending properties.
Thickness guarantee
The thickness tolerances are more narrow than those specified in the relevant EN standards for each product group.
Flatness guarantee
Strenx has five classes of flatness tolerances, depending on the type of product and material strength. All classes conform to or are more stringent than specified in EN 10 029. Class A and B also conform to or are stricter than specified in EN 10 051.
Bending guarantee
The bending guarantee depends on the yield strength of the steel grade, and always conforms to or is more stringent than the requirements in the relevant EN standard for each product.
