Thermal cutting of Hardox® and Strenx®
Mechanical cutting
Mechanical cutting of Strenx® 1100 is best performed with guillotine shears. Consider carefully the settings of the cutting machine. The most important factors are clearance, cutting angle and blade hardness. The plate should be allowed to warm up thoroughly to around +20°C before it is cut.
Strenx® guarantees
Strenx® guarantees include tight thickness tolerances, tight flatness tolerances and bending guarantees. The tight thickness tolerances enable you to know the weight more precisely. As a result, you can reduce your safety margins. Precise thickness within a plate and between plates makes for safe and predictable performance in the workshop.
