QUENCHED AND TEMPERED STEEL SHEETS
STEEL FOR QUENCHING AND TEMPERING:
one of the most widely used steels in Europe
Quenched and tempered steel sheets are designed for applications requiring high mechanical strength, wear resistance and long service life. Because of the heat treatment process, they provide an excellent balance of hardness, strength and toughness. In addition, they deliver reliable performance under demanding operating conditions. Therefore, they are widely used in mechanical and industrial applications. Finally, they are available in a wide range of thicknesses with cut-to-size services.
STEEL FOR QUENCHING AND TEMPERING
• High load, impact and fatigue resistance.
• It is an excellent compromise between toughness and impact strength.
30MnB5
BORON STEEL FOR QUENCHING
• High hardenability thanks to the boron addition, ensuring excellent response to heat treatment.
• High mechanical strength and wear resistance after quenching, ideal for components subjected to abrasion and heavy working conditions.
Main characteristics
Designed for demanding applications, quenched and tempered steels provide outstanding mechanical performance and long-term reliability. After heat treatment, the material achieves an excellent balance of strength, hardness and toughness. Moreover, it maintains good machinability, making subsequent manufacturing operations easier. As a result, component service life is extended even under heavy loads. In addition, high wear resistance helps reduce maintenance requirements. Consequently, these steels are an excellent choice for critical mechanical components.
