BAINITIC HARDENED STRIP: HIGH STRENGTH AND DUCTILITY

CHEMICAL COMPOSITIONS AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Bainitic hardened steel strip is obtained by means of a heat treatment that consists of rapid cooling of the steel piece from a high temperature. To achieve this result, the strip is kept at an intermediate temperature for a certain time, forming a bainitic structure. The main characteristic of bainitic hardened strip is its ductility, so that the material can be deformed without breaking. In addition, this type of strip has high hardness and mechanical strength.

Among the options available at VINCO for bainitic hardened steel strips are the following chemical compositions: C60S with 0.57-0.65% quenched carbon and good mechanical strength; C67S containing 0.65-073% quenched carbon with high strength and hardness; C75S composed of 0.70-0.80% carbon and quenched steel. The latter is characterized by a good combination of strength and flexibility.

In the “Mechanical properties” section of the product sheet you can check the difference between bainitic hardening and martensitic hardening according to the thickness and strength of the material. The mechanical properties of this type of strip are agreed at the time of order. Please contact our team of experts so that they can advise you according to your needs on the contact telephone number (+34) 94 412 33 99 or send us an email to info@vinco.es.

FINISHES AND TOLERANCES FOR BAINITIC HARDENED STRIP

High carbon steel strips such as banitic hardening have finishes subject to the EN 10132-4:2000 standard that applies to cold-rolled strips for heat treatment. The surface finish or roughness of the strip is determined at the time of the order according to your needs.

The tolerances for this type of strapping are detailed in the product sheet and are divided into: thickness tolerances, width tolerances, length tolerances and arrow tolerances, which refer to the arching of the strapping strips. In addition, the flatness tolerance for strip strips is also detailed.

VINCO is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified for the cutting and marketing of steel strips. This reflects that we work under quality standards throughout the delivery process, always meeting the needs of our customers.
