Strenx® 1100 product group

Strenx® 1100 can be welded using any conventional welding method. MAG welding is the most common technique today, since it is very easy to automate for high productivity.

Strenx® 1100 can usually be machined without special equipment. Stable machinery fitted with high-speed steel and carbide tools is recommended when drilling, countersinking, tapping, turning, and milling.

Free bending and roll bending of Strenx® steel plate and strip can be done using standard bending machinery. Uniform properties, close thickness tolerances and high surface quality ensure a predictable bending process.

The properties and fine surface finish of Strenx®1100 plate and strip makes it perfect for laser cutting. Thermal cutting of hot-rolled Strenx® 1100 steel sheet and plate is performed with oxy-fuel flame, plasma and laser.

Mechanical cutting of Strenx® 1100 is best performed with guillotine shears. Consider carefully the settings of the cutting machine. The most important factors are clearance, cutting angle and blade hardness. The plate should be allowed to warm up thoroughly to around +20°C before it is cut.
