Note: it is possible to specify the hardness values or the tensile strength values, but not both. If neither of the two values is specified, the tensile strength value is calculated.
The specification for tensile strength/hardness must fall within a range of 150 N/mm² or 50 HV, unless expressly stated otherwise in the commercial agreement.

MARTENSITIC TEMPERED STEEL STRIP

TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES AND SUPPLY AND PACKAGING OPTIONS

VINCO specializes in the supply of high quality martensitic hardened steel strips. This type of strapping is characterized by high hardness and good resistance to corrosion. The martensitic tempering process is produced when the steel is subjected to a temperature between 800ºC and 1000ºC and then the strip is cooled in a controlled manner in water, oil or reinforced air.

In our catalog you will find different chemical compositions of unalloyed martensitic hardened steel strips and a chromium-vanadium alloy. All of them are governed by the EN 10132 Standard.

The supply options for the martensitic mild steel strips we have available are adjusted to the needs of our customers:

  • Tightly wound strapping: this format makes the best use of the material and gives uniformity to the strap. In addition, this service is available for coils weighing up to 2,000 kg.
  • Helycoil format: the capacity of this delivery option is 55 mm nominal width and 2.20 mm nominal thickness.
  • Profiled strip and flattened or inserted strip: these two types of supply are determined according to the customer’s drawing.

In terms of packaging possibilities, VINCO offers you the possibility to send strapping in cookie or roll with strapping by layout -radial or perimeter-, or by material -plastic or metallic-. In addition, we also offer strapped format that can be with wood or on cardboard core, and palletized format with square pallet, round pallet, custom-made pallet or europallet to facilitate the transport of the product. Of course, all our shipments include an element to protect the material so that it arrives in perfect conditions.

FINISHES AND TOLERANCES OF MARTENSITIC HARDENED STEEL STRIP

The finishes for this type of mild steel strip are governed by EN 10132-4:2000, which applies to cold rolled strip for heat treatment, and are as follows:

  • Oxide finish with a gray/blue tone: unpolished.
  • Bright tempered finish: not polished.
  • A polished finish obtained by fine grinding, abrasive brushing or other process.
  • Polished and colored finish: the hardened steel strip has a blue color due to oxidation by heat treatment.

Choose the finish that best suits your needs and contact us if you have any questions or need additional information by phone (+34) 94 412 33 99 or by e-mail at info@vinco.es.
