Radiators require steels with high mechanical properties and excellent surface aspect. A challenge that ArcelorMittal best in class products can meet.
High Strength Low Alloy steels (HC300LA) are characterised by their low content of both carbon and micro-alloying elements. This gives HSLA steels outstanding functional properties, such as weldability and coatability. The hardening achieved by controlled internal purity and fine grain size structure ensures excellent mechanical strength. HSLA combine improved weldability with good formability. The narrow variation margins for their mechanical properties make it easy to shape the steel (presses or automated lines). They also have good fatigue and impact resistance.
Cold rolled steels optimised for forming operations are obtained by continuous annealing. The excellent properties of these steels allow smooth and continuous operation of the various process steps, which is particularly important on high productivity automated lines. These grades (like H180CA or HC220CA) are especially recommended for forming by bending or profiling.
Both optimised steels for forming operations (HC260LA, HC300LA) or HSLA (HC180CA, HC220CA, HC260CA) are recommended for this application.
