EN 10210-3 Structural Hollow Sections

EN 10210-3 standards mainly covers High-strength sand weather resistant steels for structural purposes, high strength steel has been a success story in heavy equipment and vehicles, offering lighter weight, wear and impact resistance, and hassle-free fabrication. These same benefits apply to structural engineering applications: longer spans, weight reduction for reduced foundation loads, and greater load-carrying capability are all possible thanks to high-strength steel.

EN 10210-3:

Hollow sections formed hot, making use of a thermomechanical forming process with grades from S275MH to S700MH and also MLH grades – these are formed into their final shape at an elevated temperature of at least 580°C, but below the normalizing temperature used for fully normalized grades (such as S355NH). Structural hollow sections to these grades will not have the same level of metallurgical homogeneity of fully normalized products.

Quenched and tempered steels from S460QH to S960QH and also QLH and QL1H grades – these steels achieve very high strength through a quench and temper process, first rapidly quenching from above the AC3 temperature to achieve a specific grain structure and then finally tempering at a defined temperature to achieve the desired properties.

Steel with improved atmospheric corrosion resistance, otherwise known as weathering steels from S355J0WH to S500K2WH.

 

Application:

High strength steel and weathering steel are widely used in structures, bridges, buildings, heavy transport, and process industries. If you have new bridges, steel structures, steel buildings, roofs, piers, and stadiums that requires long service life, structural hollow sections that made of high strength and weathering steels according to EN 10201-3 standard are a better choices, as it has a very good corossion-resitant ability.
