Welding and joining
Not only do SSAB’s high-strength steels deliver high performance, but they feature exceptional weldability. In fact, you can use conventional welding methods to weld these steels to any type of weldable steel.
Bending and forming
High-strength steel grades require special considerations not common to mild steel in order to perform proper bending.
Cutting
SSAB’s high-strength steels can be cut using all thermal cutting methods, including oxy-fuel cutting, plasma cutting and laser cutting. Of course, you can also use cold cutting processes.
Machining
SSAB provides best machining practices and recommendations for feeds, speeds and tooling so you can reduce vibrations, build-up and tool breakage, for example. With the proper techniques, you can improve machinability without sacrificing performance and increase productivity.
