HIGH STRENGTH STRUCTURAL STEEL
S700 MC

Description

S700 MC is a thermo –mechanical control rolled advanced high strength steel. This steel has very high competitive characteristics such as good weld-ability and cold forming that play a huge role in promotion of light weight designs for increased payload and improved total savings on fuel consumption.  The “M” indicates that this steel is thermo-mechanically rolled and the “C” indicates that these steels are suitable for cold forming in compliance with EN 10149-1.

Application

S700 MC is mainly used for:

  • Load handling equipment

  • Super structures of commercial vehicle

  • Frames and booms for forestry

  • Crane arms and other lifting equipment

  • Masts

  • Frame structures for mobile vehicles
