The mechanical properties are tested in the longitudinal direction.
1) If ReH is not applicable then Rp0.2 is used. On thicknesses >8 mm the minimum yield strength may be 20 MPa lower.
2) For both longitudinal and transverse direction.
Impact Properties
Charpy V 10x10 mm test specimen 1)
1) Impact testing in the transverse direction is available if specified at the time of the order. Minimum impact energy for transverse testing is 27 J at -40° C.
Impact testing according to EN ISO 148-1 is performed on thicknesses ≥ 5mm. The specified minimum value corresponds to a full-size specimen.

Fabrication and Other Recommendations
Welding, bending and machining
Strenx® 700MC Plus has good welding, cold forming and cutting performance.
Strenx® 700MC Plus is a cold forming steel not suited for heat treatments at temperatures above 580°C since the material then maylose 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.
Strenx® 700MC Plus high-strength structural steel
Strenx® 700MC Plus is a Strenx® grade with exceptional properties for bending and mechanical cutting. It allows you to fast-forward the development of new high-performing load-bearing equipment. It has excellent formability and impact toughness for highly demanding applications, which is particularly important when operating in cold climates. Strenx® 700MC Plus meets or exceeds the requirements of EN 10149-2 grade S700MC. The product has a bendability of Ri/t equal to 1 up to 10 mm (0.393”) thickness. At a thickness above 10 mm (0.393”) the Ri/t value is still as low as 1.5.

Ready to upgrade?
Moving up from 700 MPa to 900 MPa means you get almost 30% higher yield strength, which is the case if you upgrade from Strenx® 700MC Plus to Strenx® 900 Plus. Your upgraded equipment has higher load-bearing capacity or can be made with thinner steel for reduced weight. If you are ready to explore the opportunities with a stronger Strenx®, you’re always welcome to get in touch with our steel specialists at SSAB Tech Support or SSAB Knowledge Service Center.
