Technical Specifications
Product Overview
Metallurgical Characteristics
S390 exhibits a complex microstructure featuring fine, uniformly distributed primary and secondary carbides within a martensitic matrix. The powder metallurgy processing eliminates segregation and ensures homogeneous carbide distribution, resulting in exceptional wear resistance and dimensional stability. The high vanadium and tungsten content provides superior hot hardness retention and thermal stability.
Heat Treatment Process
MetalZenith employs controlled vacuum hardening at 1160-1180°C followed by multiple tempering cycles at 540-560°C. Our proprietary cryogenic treatment at -196°C enhances carbide precipitation and maximizes hardness. The precise temperature control and atmosphere management ensure optimal transformation kinetics and minimize distortion.
Manufacturing Excellence
MetalZenith's advanced powder metallurgy facility utilizes hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and controlled atmosphere sintering to achieve near-theoretical density and eliminate porosity. Our quality systems include real-time monitoring of particle size distribution, chemical composition verification, and comprehensive mechanical testing throughout the production cycle.
Specialized Quality Testing
Our comprehensive testing protocol includes formability assessment through bend testing and deep drawing simulation, weldability evaluation using controlled thermal severity tests, hydrogen-induced cracking resistance testing per NACE standards, and delayed fracture analysis under sustained loading conditions. These specialized tests ensure S390 steel meets the stringent requirements of high-strength applications.
Application Engineering Considerations
For automotive manufacturing, S390 provides exceptional tool life in stamping operations while maintaining dimensional precision. In building and bridge construction, its high fatigue strength ensures long-term structural integrity under cyclic loading. For lifting equipment applications, the superior impact toughness and wear resistance minimize maintenance requirements. In pressure vessel manufacturing, the material's resistance to hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking ensures safe operation under extreme conditions.
