High Strength Steel
Up-to-date facts about advanced high strength steel from SSAB Swedish Steel
 
High Strength Steels
Our high strength steels make life easier for designers, buyers, production managers, operators and anyone else involved with steel.
This is because of the many excellent properties of our high strength steels and the new opportunities they offer.

Lighter products
Since high strength steels are stronger than ordinary steels, you will need less steel for a given task. And since your products will be lighter, stronger and tougher, you will need less resources both in production and in transport.

Reduced material costs
You will not need to buy quite as much steel if you use high strength steels. So even if the high strength steel is a little more expensive per kilogram, your material costs will still be lower.

Easier production
High strength steels improve the reliability of production, since their material properties are more consistent. The scatter in yield strength and spring-back is lower than in ordinary steels.

Extended useful life
By putting to use the strength of high strength steels, you can increase the useful life and improve the durability of a product. As an example, the products will be more resistant and better able to absorb blows and shocks.
 
 
Reduced stocks
One high strength steel alone can replace many different standard grades of steel with lower yield strength. This will enable you to cut your stocks and inventory costs, reduce handling, improve quality and eliminate the risk of the wrong material being used by mistake.

Better environment
Less raw materials and less energy are consumed in the production of high strength steels. The products will be lighter and will cause lower energy consumption in transport, and if used in vehicles, they can increase the payload capacity and reduce fuel consumption.

New knowledge

New steels demand new knowledge. We have long experience and have accumulated vast expertise in how high strength steels should be used to improve your competitiveness and profitability. All of our knowledge and experience are at your disposal.

Closer cooperation

Closer cooperation can assure you of better competitiveness. Our willingness to listen, to understand the needs and to cooperate makes it even simpler to put to use all of the benefits of high strength steels.
