TektoSal®450
Salzgitter Flachstahl now offers its customers a new material in the form of strip sheet.
This new material, TektoSal®450, belongs to the group of wear-resistant special steels. It is characterized by its exceptional hardness combined with very good toughness.
TektoSal®450 is suitable for wear-prone structures with additional requirements for weldability and formability. The material also offers good weather resistance. Typical applications include earthmoving and mining machinery, dump trucks, tanks, containers, mixer transport systems, and other components that are primarily subject to frictional wear.
Furthermore, the TektoSal®450 is characterized by excellent processing properties combined with a particularly demanding dimensional range.
TektoSal®450 is offered by Salzgitter Flachstahl as unpickled strip sheet with a natural edge. The thickness ranges from 3 to 5 mm and the width from 900 to 1,500 mm.
Due to its chemical composition, TektoSal®450 is readily weldable. Its excellent flexural strength is present in both longitudinal and transverse directions.
Naturally, the new material can optionally be ordered with the seca®Xtra product feature. This feature is characterized by minimal flatness deviations on the cut component.
The name TektoSal® is derived from the Latin name “tectona grandis” for the teak tree. This is because the teak tree also yields a wood that is particularly resistant and durable, even under adverse conditions – just like the new material from Salzgitter.
