Technical Specifications

Product Overview

Metallurgical Characteristics

H1 structural steel features a refined ferritic-pearlitic microstructure achieved through controlled rolling and optimized chemical composition. The balanced addition of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum enhances hardenability and provides superior strength-to-weight ratio while maintaining excellent weldability and formability essential for structural applications.

Heat Treatment Process

MetalZenith employs controlled rolling at temperatures between 850-950°C followed by accelerated cooling to achieve optimal mechanical properties. Our thermomechanical controlled processing (TMCP) ensures fine grain structure and uniform property distribution, critical for structural integrity in building and bridge applications.

Manufacturing Process

Our H1 steel production utilizes electric arc furnace melting with secondary refining processes including ladle metallurgy and vacuum degassing. Continuous casting followed by controlled rolling ensures consistent quality and mechanical properties. Advanced process control systems monitor temperature, deformation, and cooling rates throughout production.

Structural Quality Testing

Comprehensive testing protocols include welding performance evaluation using standard procedures, forming capability assessment through bend tests, fatigue strength testing under cyclic loading conditions, and atmospheric corrosion resistance evaluation. Each batch undergoes ultrasonic testing, impact testing at various temperatures, and complete chemical analysis to ensure structural reliability.

Application Engineering Considerations

For building construction, H1 steel provides excellent seismic resistance and load-bearing capacity. In bridge engineering, its superior fatigue resistance and weldability ensure long-term structural integrity. For machinery manufacturing, the combination of strength and machinability enables complex component fabrication. Vehicle manufacturing benefits from its formability and crash resistance properties, while general engineering applications leverage its versatility and reliable performance characteristics.
