Our Steel Grades Microalloyed steel
Microalloyed steel offers high strength and good weldability. What combination of tensile strength and formability do your products require?
About Microalloyed Steel High strength, good weldability
Microalloyed fine-grained steels are low carbon. By adding niobium, titanium or vanadium in small amounts, we significantly increase tensile strength compared to soft DC-grade steels, but still manage to maintain good formability.
The low carbon content (less than 0.1 percent) ensures that the material can be easily welded. The absence of hardening results in better dimensional tolerances and eliminates hardening cracks.
We supply micro-alloyed steel in the form of strip steel in coils, rings, cut-to-length pieces, or sheets, and can cut, plane, and trim it to your specifications at our steel service center. Tell us the strength and formability your component requires, and we’ll recommend a suitable grade.
Specifications
- Delivery Method
- Coil, ring, cut-to-length pieces, or sheets
- Edge Finish
- Cut edge, planed round, planed straight, or chamfered
- Thickness
- 0.025–5.00 mm
- Width

Our microalloyed steels HC-LA and RAWAEL
Popular in the automotive industry
HC-LA (High-strength, low-alloy). Microalloyed steels are particularly well-suited for use in the automotive industry, among other sectors, where good formability and low weight—combined with consistent mechanical properties and high strength—make it possible to build lighter vehicles with better fuel economy.
RAWAEL Special Steel
Our RAWAEL is a special steel in the microalloyed steel category with even higher strength compared to conventional microalloyed steels. The yield strength can be selected within the range of Rm 700–1200 MPa.
Beneficial characteristics
The low carbon content (less than 0.1 percent) ensures that the material can be easily welded. The absence of hardening results in better dimensional tolerances and eliminates hardening cracks.
