SSAB Domex® Plus is part of a new generation of high-strength – low alloy steels (HSLA). The steel adds a new level of performance for stamping, punching, slitting and complicated die forming. SSAB Domex® Plus is particularly well suited to high-volume automated production lines.
Usually, when a high strength steel is cut mechanically or the metal has a hole punched into it, the edge of the material at the cut can become compromised. As the steel is bent or stretched, brittle edges and micro cracks can grow, resulting in an unusable component.
Thanks to the Domex® Plus steel’s fine microstructure the edges show practically no burrs or ridges in mechanical cutting and hole punching. It’s the perfect steel for punching holes.
The cut surface is very smooth and free from micro-cracks, also at very high cutting speeds.
