Korkealujuusteräs
Korkealujuusteräs, often abbreviated as HSLA steel, is a type of steel alloy known for its improved mechanical properties and superior corrosion resistance compared to conventional carbon steels. The "high strength" in its name refers to its significantly higher yield strength and tensile strength, allowing for thinner and lighter components without compromising structural integrity. This enhanced strength is achieved through the controlled addition of alloying elements such as niobium, vanadium, and titanium, and by careful control of the manufacturing process, including controlled rolling and accelerated cooling.
HSLA steels find widespread application in industries where weight reduction and durability are crucial. This includes
