Mechanical Properties

Steel supplied will comply with the mechanical property limits below.
The values of the tensile test apply to test bars parallel to the rolling direction.
The values of the bend test apply to test bars transverse to the rolling direction.

Grade   Tenform XF355
Min. Yield strength  ReH1 N/mm² 355
Tensile strength Rm N/mm² 430-550
Min. elongation after fracture A% t < 3 23
3 ≤ t < 5 26
