Technical Specifications
Product Overview
Metallurgical Characteristics
J55 is a normalized medium-carbon alloy structural steel with a refined ferritic-pearlitic microstructure. The controlled addition of chromium, molybdenum, and nickel provides enhanced hardenability and improved mechanical properties. The fine grain structure achieved through controlled rolling ensures excellent strength-toughness balance essential for structural applications.
Heat Treatment Process
MetalZenith employs controlled rolling followed by normalization at 880-920°C with controlled cooling rates to achieve optimal microstructure. Our precise temperature control and cooling rate management ensure consistent mechanical properties and excellent dimensional stability throughout the material cross-section.
Manufacturing Excellence
Our advanced manufacturing process incorporates continuous casting, controlled rolling, and inline heat treatment to produce J55 steel with superior consistency. Real-time monitoring of chemical composition and mechanical properties ensures every batch meets stringent structural steel requirements.
Specialized Quality Testing
MetalZenith conducts comprehensive testing including welding performance evaluation per AWS D1.1, forming capability assessment, fatigue strength testing under cyclic loading, and atmospheric corrosion resistance testing. Our advanced testing protocols ensure superior performance in demanding structural environments.
Application Engineering
For building construction, J55 provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio and superior weldability for complex structural joints. In bridge engineering, the material's fatigue resistance and atmospheric corrosion resistance ensure long-term durability. For machinery manufacturing, the combination of strength and formability enables complex component fabrication. In vehicle construction, the material's impact toughness and consistent properties support safety-critical applications.
