OPTIM
QCW
This steel grade opens up new possibilities for designers to create lighter steel structures. Thanks to the good atmospheric corrosion resistance, additional coatings of the steel structure can be omitted, which brings a significant cost advantage in applications, where the objective is a dark brown patina on the steel surface.
Using the weather-resistant, ultra high-strength OPTIM structural steel will bring clear performance benefits in steel structures, vehicles and lifting equipments. Lighter steel structures, higher payloads for machinery and equipment and lower energy consumption can be achieved. The manufacturing of steel products will become more efficient thanks to good weldability and flangeability and lower unit weight. The OPTIM QCW steel is developed to promote environmentally sound construction and sustainable development.
