Solid solution steels

Description

Solid solution steels are designed to provide high strength while maintaining good drawability. These steels are hardened in particular by the presence of phosphorous in solid solution in ferrite.

Their combination of mechanical strength and drawability makes these grades suitable for numerous applications.

Solid solution steels are aluminium-killed grades with lower drawing performance than the IF range of steels.

Applications

Some examples of structural parts are shown below:

  • Longitudinal beam in CR240P (thickness: 1.8 mm)

  • Crossmembers in CR240P
