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. | |
Chemical composition | This grade receives a globularisation treatment of the manganese sulphides. The efficiency of boron is ensured by the addition of elements that bind nitrogen. | |
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. | |
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. | |
Surface condition | This boron grade is available in A unexposed surface quality only. |
