perform® – high-strength micro-alloyed cut-to-length sheet

Truck undercarriage with perform®

The steel grades in the perform® series are low-carbon micro-alloyed steels which are thermomechanically rolled.

The low carbon and alloying element levels, the cleanliness of the steels with their low sulfur content and the special rolling process result in excellent properties including good cold formability, weldability and toughness.

perform® cut-to-length sheets are cut to length from hot-rolled strips and are available in thicknesses up to 20 mm.

Properties

  • Minimum yield points up to 700 MPa with very good cold formability
  • Press braking and bending with very small radii
  • Notch impact energy 27 J at -40 °C
  • Excellent surface quality
  • Outstanding weldability

perform® in use

Modern technology often requires a combination of conflicting properties, e.g. high strength and at the same time good formability. The development and use of cold forming steels provided solutions to numerous problems encountered in many structures, e.g. in vehicle manufacture.
