Strenx® Tubes are cold formed and welded structural hollow sections with minimum yield strengths of 700 MPa. They come in an extensive range of sizes and wall thicknesses. Use Strenx® Tubes in load-bearing structures to build stronger products that weigh less or to replace mild steel grades. And when you use Strenx®, you’ll get dimensionally consistent, workshop-friendly steel too.
Typical applications for Strenx® Tube 700MLH include load-bearing structures in lifting, material handling, transportation and agriculture, especially in conditions that require extremely high toughness.
Typical applications for Strenx® Tube 900MH include advanced load-bearing structures in the lifting, transportation and agriculture segments.
Typical applications for Strenx® Tube 960MH include advanced load-bearing structures in the lifting, transportation and agriculture segments.
Typical applications for Strenx® Tube 700QLH are load-bearing lattice structures in lifting, material handling, transportation and agriculture, especially in conditions where high toughness is needed.
Typical applications for Strenx® Tube 960QLH are load-bearing lattice structures in lifting, material handling, transportation and agriculture, especially in conditions where high toughness is needed.
Strenx® tubes can be welded using any conventional welding method. MAG welding is the most common technique today, since it is very easy to automate for high productivity.
The properties and fine surface finish of Strenx® tubes make it perfect for laser cutting. Strenx Tubes can also be thermal-cut with oxy-fuel flame and plasma. Since tubes are cold formed, they contain residual stresses. Proper design can control distortion when cutting. If distortion becomes a problem the tubes can be stress relief annealed.
Strenx® Tubes can be sawed with the usual cutting tools. Compared with mild steel tubes, saw blade wear can be lower, since the low carbon equivalent prevents the longitudinal weld seam from hardening during welding.
Strenx® Tubes and Sections meet or exceed the tolerances of European standards: EN10219 for cold formed welded steel structural hollow sections and EN10210 for hot finished steel structural hollow sections.
