                  Fabrication and Other Recommendations

                  Welding, bending and machining

                  Strenx® 700 HR W has good welding, cold forming and cutting performance.

                  Strenx® 700 HR W is not suited for heat treatments at temperatures above 1076°F since the material then may lose its guaranteed properties. 

                  The weldability of Strenx® 700 HR W is good. All the conventional fusion welding methods can be used. To obtain the same corrosion resistance in the weld as in the base metal, special filler metals should be used. Painting of Strenx® weather resistant steel is easy and will result in good paint adhesion. This can further increase the maintenance interval of the component. In order to ensure the uniform colour of the patina, all impurities must be cleaned from the steel surface. Organic impurities such as oil or protective greases must be removed by washing with suitable solvent.

                  Surface oxidation, oxides or rust can be removed by either shot-blasting or pickling. This will also accelerate the patina formation process. Shot-blasting is not recommended for thicknesses below 0.157". The surface of a clean weathering steel surface can be pre-patinated by allowing the surface to get wet and dryin repeated intervals.

                  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?

                  Upgrading from Strenx® 700 W to Strenx® 960 W means you can improve the performance and reduce the weight of your equipment. The increase in yield strength by 37% allows for a great leap in the equipment’s load-bearing capacity.
