SSAB, Stockholm, has launched Strenx, a new high-strength structural steel product brand that includes Optim, Weldox, and Domex steels that are well-known trademarks of SSAB and the former Ruukki. Strenx is well-suited for agriculture, the frames of heavy mobile machines, rolling stock, offshore, and construction sectors.
Strenx features the world’s widest choice of high-strength structural steels, in terms of both strength and dimensional range. Yield strengths range from 600 MPa to 1300 MPa, which is the strongest steel available on the market. Strenx is available in plate, strip and tubular products in thicknesses ranging from 0.7 mm to 160 mm.
Strenx is designed for sectors where structural strength and weight savings are key competitive factors, especially in the lifting, handling, and transportation industry. Now customers will be able to design more competitive and sustainable products – cranes that reach farther, trailers that carry more payload, trucks that use less fuel.
“Strenx embodies over 50 years of experience in high-strength steels,” says Gregoire Parenty, Head of Market Development at SSAB. “We give full support to designers and customers to help them upgrade to Strenx. By sharing our in-depth experience and wide knowledge of steel we can guarantee the best results for end-product performance.”
Strenx comes with guaranteed product consistency, services to help customers, and permanent assistance to enhance end-product performance.
