WHAT IS HIGH PERFORMANCE STEEL?



High performance steel:-

All steels possess a combination of properties that determines how well a steel performs its intended function. Strength, weldability, toughness, ductility, corrosion resistance, and formability are all important to determine how well a steel performs. High -performance steel can be defined as having an optimized balance of these properties to give maximum performance in bridge structures while remainin g cost -effective.


• High Performance Steel has low levels of carbon and carbon equivalents to provide good weldability.  It is weldable with reduced or no preheat and without expensive welding techniques.  • It has a high level of fracture toughness (Zone 3 minimum) to improve structure reliability.  It provides better than adequate material ductility.  • It has atmospheric corrosion resistance characteristics that will eliminate the need for coating steel bridges in most environments.
