High-Strength Steels For Cold-Forming, Thermomechanically-Rolled

The document summarizes the properties and applications of S420MC high-strength steel for cold forming. Key points: - S420MC is used for cold-formed components like beams, frames, and structural pipes. It has good bending and folding properties. - Heat treatments like normalizing and stress relief annealing above 580°C can reduce strength and should be avoided. The steel is also not suitable for hot forming. - The steel has a yield strength of at least 420MPa, tensile strength of 480-620MPa, and total elongation of 16% or 19% depending on thickness. - It can be welded manually or automatically using common electric welding processes. Preheating
