1) Typical Tensile strength (MPa) values (YS, UTS & EL %) for up to 20 mm for reference purpose only

2) Typical CVN (Charpy V Notch) impact energy reference purpose only.

Supplementary requirements like Tensile & CVN Impact/Toughness Test shall be mutually agreed. The above are typical values for reference purposes. The orientation of tensile specimen is transverse, and impact is in longitudinal to rolling direction for above mentioned typical values.

 

Hardness is guaranteed and mentioned in MTC (Mill Test Certificate), the supplementary requirements can be mutually agreed upon, like YS, TS, % EL, Impact, etc. and based on agreement it can be mentioned.

 

Hardness Testing – Brinell hardness is guaranteed according to EN ISO 6506-1 on a milled surface 0.50 -3.00 mm below the surface. For 8 <= t <= 60 mm, typical guaranteed core hardness shall be 90% of the guaranteed minimum surface hardness.

**Typical achievement of Carbon Equivalent based on Thickness Range mentioned above is for reference and guidance only. However, guaranteed values will be as per above table only.

Cold forming

Recommended minimum bending Radius up to 20mm thickness can be provided for reference and >20mm thickness can be discussed on case-to-case basis.

Bend Radius is dependent on the direction of bending to rolling (T=Plate Thickness).

Unique Selling Proposition (USP) of ROCKHARD

  • Unique Slab caster with slab thickness of 300mm resulting in high slab to plate reduction ratio resulting in uniform critical properties throughout the plate
  • Advance version of cooling technology i.e MULPIC for better surface finish & homogeneous mechanical properties throughout the plate surface and core.
  • De Scaling units with capacity of 200 bar help in achieving better surface.
  • High-capacity Power Leveler for consistent and stringent flatness control.
  • Current Heat treatment facility with capacity upto 150mm and New Heat treatment facility being installed with capacity upto 200mm thickness.

Heat Treatment and Fabrication

Mechanical properties are guaranteed in ROCKHARD Plates by water-quenching/quenching followed by tempering. The properties of the processed plates cannot be retained if exposed to service or preheating temperatures in excess of 220 °C. ROCKHARD Plates are not intended for further heat treatment.

Welding Parameters Recommendations

ROCKHARD Plates are usually used in wear part and recommended to be welded with low hydrogen electrodes like E7018H4 or E8018G. Low-strength consumables can offer several benefits, such as higher toughness of the weld metal, higher resistance to hydrogen cracking and lower residual stresses in the weld joint.

During welding, the precautions to be followed are: 

Preheat  : 30mm and above thick plate to 120 °C to 170°C max.

Interpass temperature: 220° C max.

Heat input : 1.5-2 kJ/mm.

Low carbon equivalent of ROCKHARD Plates results in good weldability. All conventional welding methods like manual electric arc welding, submerged arc welding, inert gas welding can be applied.
