Differdange/Luxembourg - June 1911
Introduction
Before
1950, steel
were characterised by:
In former
timesgrades
.
low mechanical characteristics (Re=210-320 MPa)
low toughness and ductility
poor weldability due to high CE values and
nitrogen content
Sustainably produced hot-rolled sections

Steel is the worlds most recycled material

Steel can be recycled cost-effectively and indefinitely
Electric arc furnace and environment

The EAF production route is clean and
energy saving
The use of primary materials is
reduced thanks to the exclusive input
of steel scrap for the production the
hot rolled beams.
Waste products from the EAF route
are recycled
Advantages of the EAF route versus the

conventional integrated production route

New steel grades and modern structures
Advanced TM+AC/QST rolling processes are the key to a
new generation of fine-grained steel grades with:
high strength
good toughness and ductility
excellent weldability
Typical applications:
composite bridges
trusses
gravity columns
structures in seismic areas
offshore

HISTAR grades are approved and conform to:
EN 10113-3 (fine grain high strength structural grades)

EN 10225 (offshore grades)
ASTM A913
AISC for ASD, LRFD, Seismic Provisions
UBC, IBC 2000
