High-strength steels or high-yield steels
What are high-strength steels?
What material increases the yield strength of steels?
Which steel has greater elasticity?
The elasticity of a steel depends not only on its composition and heat treatment, but also on factors such as the microstructure, plastic deformation, and physical properties of the material.
What are the main characteristics of high yield strength steels?
High-strength steels have a number of characteristics that make them ideal for applications requiring high-strength and durable materials. The main characteristics of these steels include:
Properties of High Yield Strength Steels
Weldability.
Despite their high strength, they are weldable, making them easy to use in component manufacturing and assembly. It's important to follow proper techniques and procedures to ensure quality welding and avoid problems such as hydrogen-induced cracking.
High resistance
High-strength steels offer superior tensile strength, making them suitable for applications requiring heavy loads or extreme stresses. They are able to withstand stress without permanently deforming.
Good tenacity
They have high toughness, which means they can absorb energy without fracturing easily. This makes them ideal for applications where impact resistance is required. For example, they are used in the manufacture of pressure hulls or in the construction of nuclear submarines (HY steel).
Higher yield strength
They are characterized by having a higher yield strength than conventional steels. The yield strength is the maximum load a material can withstand without experiencing permanent deformation. High yield strength steels allow for the design of lighter and more efficient structures without compromising their strength.
Corrosion resistance
They are designed to offer greater corrosion resistance compared to conventional steels. This is especially important in aggressive or marine environments, where corrosion can compromise structural integrity.
Applications of high-strength steels
Automotive industry
High-strength steels are used in the manufacture of automotive structural components, such as bodies, chassis, and suspensions. These steels allow for lighter vehicle construction, contributing to reduced emissions and increased fuel efficiency.
Heavy machinery
They are used in the manufacture of heavy machinery, such as excavators, cranes, and agricultural equipment. These special steels make it possible to build stronger and more durable equipment, capable of withstanding heavy loads and demanding working conditions.
Weighing machineryAerospace industry
Manufacturing of structural components for aircraft and satellites. They offer a combination of strength and lightness, which contributes to improving aircraft efficiency and aerodynamic performance.
Construction and structures
Construction of bridges, high-rise buildings, and industrial structures. These steels allow for the design of lighter and thinner structures without compromising strength and safety.
Naval industry
Construction of boats and ships, providing structural strength and reducing the vessel’s overall weight. This improves its performance and fuel efficiency.
