General Product Description
The high-strength structural steel at 960 MPa
Strenx® 960MC is a hot-rolled structural steel made for cold forming, with a minimum yield strength of 960 MPa.
Strenx® 960MC meets and exceeds the requirements of S960MC in EN 10149-2. These cut-to-length sheets feature excellent thickness accuracy and surface quality in relation to strength level, providing an outstanding finish to the final products.
Typical applications include advanced lifting devices and lighter transport solutions and components.

The mechanical properties are tested in the longitudinal direction.
1) If ReH is not applicable then Rp0.2 is used.
2) For both longitudinal and transverse direction.
Impact Properties
Charpy V 10x10 mm test specimen 1)
1) Impact testing according to EN 10149-2 ( -20 °C /minimum 40J) is available if specified at the time of order.
Impact testing according to EN ISO 148-1 is performed on thicknesses ≥ 5mm. The specified minimum value corresponds to a full-size specimen.

Fabrication and Other Recommendations
Welding, bending and machining
Strenx® 960MC has good welding, cold forming and cutting performance.
Strenx® 960MC is a cold forming steel not suited for heat treatments at temperatures above 400°C since the material then may lose its guaranteed properties.
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.
