Application areas | Quenchable boron steel is used in applications requiring good wear resistant properties. The main applications for these steel grades after heat treatment are agricultural machinery (discs, plough shares), machinery for public works and mining, cutting equipment, tubes for automotive safety parts etc. A popular application for untreated steel is concrete mixer drums. | |
Delivery condtion | In spite of their moderate hardness and mechanical properties, boron grades exhibit remarkably good abrasion resistance in their delivery condition, thanks to their composite microstructure consisting of a hard pearlite phase embedded in ferrite. They are therefore very cost-effective solutions for applications requiring good abrasion resistance. | |
Heat Treatment | After heat treatment Its extreme hardness after heat treatment makes this grade particularly suitable for applications requiring high wear/abrasion resistance. Its use allows significant weight saving (up to 50% compared with an HSLA grade) in structural and automotive components. The specific advantage of ArcelorMittal quenchable boron steels is their suitability for water quenching, making the process more environmentally friendly (less effluent treatment) than that used for conventional carbon steels. Their hardening performance is excellent with both liquid and gas quenching. | |
Other | The fatigue resistance of ArcelorMittal's boron quenchable steels is between 40 and 60% higher than S355MC AM FCE low alloy grade. It can be reduced by over 30% if total decarburisation is carried out. | |
Processing methods | Forming This grade can be hot or cold formed. | |
Surface condition | This boron grade is available in A unexposed surface quality only. |
