Technical Features

The special mill grade “BHS” is based on micro-alloyed fine-grain steels and is characterized by high strength and the resulting pronounced wear resistance.
A key advantage is that no subsequent heat treatment is required to achieve the desired performance properties. This eliminates distortions that could otherwise significantly affect shape and positional tolerances.
Despite their very high strength and a yield strength ratio (Rp₀.₂/Rm) of up to 95%, BHS grades maintain sufficient formability for a wide range of manufacturing processes.
Thanks to the combination of high strength and toughness, weight savings of up to 50% can be achieved in the final product.
