Commercial Vehicles Beam Steels
Beam structure bears the main loads of the commercial vehicles. The beam steels must show good strength and toughness,and high fatigue property. From the forming methods, commercial vehicles beams can be divided into stamping beam, rolling beam, and welding beam. For stamping beam and rolling beam, the steels should have high cold forming performance. For welding beam, the steels should show good weldability.
Steel Characteristics
High strength beam steels reach the highest yield strength level of 700MPa. The steels not only have good purity, excellent toughness, and good fatigue performance, but also have excellent performance of cold forming and welding. The steels are suitable for stamping beam, rolling beam, and welding beam.
Ultra high strength beam steels reach the highest yield strength level of 960MPa, delivered by heat treatment. The steels show high purity, excellent toughness, good fatigue performance, good weldability, excellent flatness and surface quality. The steels are suitable for welding beam.
