Introduction

Not all abrasion resistant (AR) steels are created equal.

Tata Steel’s new Valast® 450 abrasion resistant steel not only offers superior surface quality, it has unique qualities to ensure its beauty doesn’t fade.

However, Valast 450 is not just a pretty face. With its range of widths up to 2050mm, and thicknesses from 2mm to 12mm, it can help you optimise performance and reduce wastage.

A perfect combination of beauty and performance.

Beauty that doesn't fade

Construction equipment needs to be beautiful enough to grab the buyer’s attention.

Therefore, you need a high-quality gloss to your product, which can be achieved by using a steel with superior surface quality.

Valast 450 offers superior surface quality compared to other AR steels, and this is predominantly because of its homogenous scale jacket which will look beautiful for longer.

Find out more about how Valast 450 can help make your equipment more beautiful for longer, as well as your manufacturing processes more efficient and sustainable.

Optimal performance

Valast 450 is an abrasion resistant strip steel that can help you optimise performance and reduce wastage.

If you have traditionally used a softer AR400 grade and are looking to upgrade, Valast 450 can be produced in thicknesses as low as 2mm. The use of a thinner gauge, as it is more robust, allows you to save weight.

Valast 450 isn’t just a strip product, it is the widest strip product on the market. This means that we can provide you with a range of widths up to 2050mm and in any length that you require. Instead of your engineers and software being constrained to a set length, now the only limitation is the length of the cutting bench, allowing you much more freedom to find greater efficiency.

Now is the time to join us in thinking differently to minimise yield loss and optimise performance.
