ThyssenKrupp PAS 550 Structural Steel for Cold Forming

This Material Specification applies to plates made of low carbon high strength steels with minimum yield strength values between 315 and 700 MPa1) in the thermo mechanically rolled delivery condition. They offer improved formability and show favorable properties such as low tendency towards hardening and high cold cracking resistance at welding.The steels are used for cold formed parts of different kinds such as truck frames, axle designs and other special profiles and shapes. The entire processing technique is of fundamental importance for the good performance of the products made of these steels. The processor must assure himself, that his calculation, designing and working conform with the material to be used and are suited to the proposed application.If continuous yielding occurs, the yield strength is determined as Rp0,2Information Provided by Thyssen Krupp
