Advantages of HC180Y
HC180Y offers outstanding versatility in terms of its applications. Thanks to its wide range of applications, this steel is suitable for a variety of uses. HC180Y is also characterized by its specified strength, which enables it to withstand a wide range of loads. Another advantage is its lower weight compared to similar steels with the same load-bearing capacity. This makes HC180Y an attractive option for applications where weight savings play a role. In addition, HC180Y offers excellent formability, which makes it easy and economical to process. The high weldability of this steel also enables secure and durable connections of components, which further improves its application possibilities.

Processing HC180Y
HC180Y can be processed using all standard cold working methods, such as bending, drawing, punching and welding. Before welding, the surface of the steel should be thoroughly cleaned and degreased.

Summary
HC180Y is a robust and versatile cold-rolled micro-alloyed steel with a unique combination of high strength, good formability and weldability. It is the optimal choice for all applications that require maximum safety and load-bearing capacity and offers a reliable and economical solution for demanding projects.

Cold-rolled micro-alloyed steels are widely used in various industrial applications due to their excellent mechanical properties and versatility. An interesting feature of these steel grades is that they can also be electrolytically galvanized, which further expands their application possibilities. By combining cold-rolled micro-alloyed steel with a zinc coating through the electrolytic galvanizing process, its corrosion resistance is increased. This process makes it possible to manufacture products that offer both high strength and effective protection against corrosion, making them particularly attractive for applications that are exposed to high stress and environmental influences.
The following coatings can also be ordered on one side only, e.g. ZE75/0.
