SSAB Introduces Water-Quenchable Steel Grade
11/22/2017 - Sweden’s SSAB has begun selling a new type of steel than can be quenched in water, but doesn’t need to be immediately tempered, it has announced.
Called M43, the new grade offers a high degree of hardness and impact strength, the company said.
"SSAB M43 includes a number of innovations in steel production. The chemical composition and unique rolling parameters provide outstanding workshop properties and performance of the final products," SSAB said.
"SSAB M43 can be quenched in water instead of aqueous quenching fluids or oil for a cheaper, safer and more environmentally friendly process," it added.
