Tolerances

Hot rolled (UC): Tolerances in accordance to EN 10051.

Customized dimensional and shape tolerances are available upon request.

Surface Treatments

Uncoated (UC): available as oiled.

All surface treatments are in accordance with RoHS directive (2011/65/EU) and do not contain Chromium VI (Cr6+). Surface treatments provide only temporary surface protection during transportation and storage. In order to avoid corrosion damages, care must be taken to keep the products dry during transportation and storage. If they become wet, they must be separated and situated so that they are dried quickly.

Fabrication and Other Recommendations

For information concerning fabrication, see SSAB´s brochures on www.ssab.com or consult Tech Support.

Appropriate health and safety precautions must be taken when bending, welding, cutting, grinding or otherwise working on the products.
