Technical Specifications
Product Overview
Metallurgical Characteristics
St 50 is a normalized carbon-manganese structural steel with a fine-grained ferritic-pearlitic microstructure. The controlled carbon content and manganese addition provide excellent strength while maintaining good weldability and formability. The fine grain structure achieved through controlled rolling enhances both strength and toughness properties.
Heat Treatment Process
MetalZenith employs controlled rolling at temperatures between 850-950°C followed by normalization at 880-920°C with controlled air cooling. This process ensures optimal grain refinement, uniform mechanical properties, and excellent dimensional stability for structural applications.
Manufacturing Process
Our St 50 steel is produced using electric arc furnace melting with secondary refining processes including ladle furnace treatment and vacuum degassing. The controlled rolling process with precise temperature control ensures consistent mechanical properties and excellent surface quality throughout the material cross-section.
Structural Quality Testing
MetalZenith conducts comprehensive testing including welding performance evaluation using standard procedures, forming capability assessment through bend tests, fatigue strength testing under cyclic loading, and atmospheric corrosion resistance testing. These specialized tests ensure optimal performance in structural applications.
Application Engineering Considerations
For building construction, St 50 provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio and weldability for framework applications. In bridge engineering, the material offers superior fatigue resistance and weather durability. For machinery manufacturing, the steel provides excellent machinability and forming characteristics. In vehicle construction, St 50 delivers optimal crash performance and structural integrity. For general engineering applications, the material offers versatile processing capabilities and reliable performance.
