Performance and processability
The latest addition to the Creusabro range, Creusabro 6400 is designed to meet the needs of builders and users looking for abrasion-resistant steel that outperforms conventional 450 HB steels or is easier to work with than 500 HB steel.
The TRIP effect allows it to achieve a hardness of 530 HB in use while offering better processability than conventional 500 HB steel.
FICHE PRODUIT CREUSABRO 6400
Creusabro® 6400 is designed to offer the best possible combination of wear resistance and exceptional processability.
The specific metallurgy and moderate hardness of Creusabro® 6400 in its delivery state make processing operations such as cutting, machining, or forming easier compared to conventional 450HB and 500HB steels.
Exceptional Properties
- Self-hardening capability (up to 70 HB)
- Unparalleled processability for a 530 HB steel
- Weight savings and payload improvement
- 100% sourced from recycled steel in an electric furnace.
TRIP EFFECT
Creusabro® steels significantly enhance their wear resistance in service through a surface hardening effect of up to +70 HB, resulting from local plastic deformations caused by the impact or pressure of abrasive particles
TRIP Effect :
• Austenite transformed into hard martensite
• Absorption of impacts and filling of microcracks through the transformation of austenite into martensite
• Matrix containing very hard microcarbides
• Delays surface cracking and particle detachment
