As opposed to cast products, non heat treatable rolled plate stands out due to its tensile strength and fracture toughness and this means that it is not only used for standard mechanical engineering, transport and mould making apllications, but is preferred for sensitive pressure vessel manufacture and the production of mechanical parts subject to extreme wear. Non heat treatable strip and sheet are characterised by their evenness, extremely tight thickness tolerances and surface quality, which are above all in demand by the automotive industry and for other advanced high-tech applications.
