SSAB Stockholm, Sweden, has introduced Laser Plus, a new generation of steels for laser cutting that comes with unique guarantees: maximum flatness deviation of 3 mm/m after laser cutting, and bending radius of 0 -1.5 x the material thickness. These features make it possible to meet the most challenging requirements in automated production environments.
The production process of Laser Plus steels results in a surface that is covered with a thin micro scale. This enables extremely efficient laser- water- and plasma cutting. The quality of the cut edge remains excellent, even up to a thickness of 30 mm. The cold forming properties of Laser Plus steels are excellent and SSAB guarantees inner bending radius of 0-1.5 x the material thickness, depending on strength level in combination with thickness.
Laser Plus steels are now available both as heavy plates and hot-rolled strip products. It is the new standard for demanding applications in mechanical engineering and construction, as well as in the automotive and electronics industries.
