The cleanness and fine-grain microstructure of PERFORM® give the material a high level of toughness which is essential for cold forming. Thanks to its low carbon and micro-alloying element levels, the steel can be readily welded with minimal susceptibility to cold cracking. In addition, plates of these grades can be cut to length with very close thickness and width tolerances and are suitable for press-braking and bending. The growing network of ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe’s Heavy Plate business unit ensures the materials can be supplied just-in-time around the world. Via its local service centers, ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe offers not only tailored materials but also end-to-end solutions.
