    General Product Description

    The high-strength structural steel at 87 ksi.

    Strenx® 600MC D/E is a hot-rolled structural steel made for cold forming, with a minimum yield strength of 87 ksi for stronger and lighter structures. Strenx® 600MC D/E meets or exceeds the requirements of S600MC in EN 10149-2.

    Typical applications include a wide range of components and parts, such as demanding load-bearing structures. Strenx® 600MC D/E comes in coils, slit coils or cut-to-length sheets.

    Dimension Range

    Strenx® 600MC D/E is available in thicknesses of 0.079” – 0.393” and widths up to 62.992" as coils, slit coils or cut to length sheets in lengths up to 629.92".

      Comparison

        The mechanical properties are tested in the longitudinal direction.

        1) If ReH is not applicable then Rp0.2 is used.

        2) A80 value applies for thicknesses < 3.00 mm.

        3) A5 value applies for thicknesses ≥ 3.00 mm.

        4) For both longitudinal and transverse direction.

                    Fabrication and Other Recommendations

                    Welding, bending and machining

                    Strenx® 600MC D/E has good welding, cold forming and cutting performance.

                    Strenx® 600MC D/E is a cold forming steel not suited for heat treatments at temperatures above 1076°F since the material then may lose 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.

                    Ready to upgrade?

                    You can improve the performance and reduce the weight of your equipment by upgrading from Strenx® 600MC to Strenx® 700MC. A 17% higher yield strength means a higher load-bearing capacity. Get in touch with our steel specialists at SSAB Tech Support or SSAB Knowledge Service Center for an update on upgrading.
