Let s talk about Boron Steel
For decades now, SSAB Boron steel has offered excellent properties for complex designs. And it continues to do so today. There are plenty of reasons to consider SSAB Boron steel. Let s discover if it is the right choice for you. The SSAB Boron Steel collection Developed specifically for the automotive industry, SSAB Boron steel offers a wide range of grades and dimensions that makes finding the right one easy. Common for all of the grades is consistency in quality with stable chemical compositions. This ensures tight tolerances and top performance in your workshop for every batch. They also display excellent annealing properties and come with knowledge and services that can support you from the drawing board to the market. SSAB Boron steel is available as both cold and hot rolled in widths ranging from 0.7 12 mm. Docol 1500 Bor Cold rolled 0,7 3,0 mm Docol 1800 Bor Cold rolled 0,7 3,0 mm Docol 2000 Bor Cold rolled 0,7 3,0 mm Domex 1500 Bor Hot rolled 1,8 12 mm Domex 1800 Bor Hot rolled 1,8 12 mm Domex 2000 Bor Hot rolled 1,8 12 mm Single sourced steel for reliable consistency All SSAB Boron steel originates from the same mine in northern Sweden, which is known for producing some of the cleanest and highest quality steels on the market. The result is that every delivery of SSAB Boron steel is consistent in chemical makeup, quality and behavior. Our single source production allows you to optimize performance and guarantee the quality of your applications. Weldable using conventional techniques Despite of their hardenability, SSAB Boron Steel can be welded using most common techniques. If you need any help or assistance with this, please contact our experts who can provide extensive welding support and recommendations.
