Weldox 700 (High Strength Steel)

General Product Description

Weldox 700 is a general structural steel with a minimum yield strength of 650 – 700 MPa depending on thickness. Weldox 700 meets the requirements of EN 10025 for the corresponding grades and thicknesses. Typical applications are demanding load-bearing structures.

Available dimensions

Weldox 700 E is available in plate thicknesses of 4 – 160 mm and Weldox 700 F is available in plate thicknesses of 4 – 130 mm. Both grades are available in widths up to 3350 mm and lengths up to 14630 mm. For thicknesses over 100 mm preferred width is 1650 mm with untrimmed edge.

2)Unless otherwise agreed, transverse impact testing according to EN 10025-6 option 30 will apply. For thicknesses between 6 – 11.9 mm, sub-size Charpy V-specimens are used. The specifi ed minimum value is then proportional to the cross-sectional area of the specimen compared to a full-size specimen (10 x 10 mm).
