Technical Specifications
Product Overview
Metallurgical Characteristics
Elmax exhibits a martensitic microstructure with fine, uniformly distributed vanadium and chromium carbides. The powder metallurgy production process ensures exceptional carbide distribution and eliminates segregation issues common in conventionally cast steels. This results in superior structural integrity and predictable mechanical properties essential for load-bearing applications.
Heat Treatment Process
MetalZenith employs controlled atmosphere hardening at 1030-1050°C followed by precise tempering at 150-200°C to achieve optimal strength-toughness balance. Our computer-controlled heat treatment ensures uniform properties throughout the cross-section, critical for structural applications requiring consistent performance under varying load conditions.
Manufacturing Process
MetalZenith utilizes advanced powder metallurgy techniques including vacuum melting, gas atomization, and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) to produce Elmax steel with superior cleanliness and homogeneity. Our controlled processing parameters ensure optimal carbide size and distribution, resulting in enhanced structural performance and reliability.
Structural Quality Testing
Comprehensive testing protocols include welding performance evaluation per AWS D1.1 standards, forming capability assessment through bend testing, fatigue strength testing under cyclic loading conditions, and atmospheric corrosion resistance testing in various environmental conditions. These tests ensure long-term structural reliability in demanding applications.
Application Engineering Considerations
For building construction and bridge engineering, Elmax provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratios enabling lighter structural designs. In machinery manufacturing, its superior fatigue resistance ensures extended service life under dynamic loading. For vehicle manufacturing, the combination of high strength and good formability allows for complex structural geometries while maintaining structural integrity.
