Benefits of ATC603
Chemical composition:ATC603 typically contains 0.16-0.22% Carbon, 1.30-1.60% Manganese, 0.08-0.15% Vanadium, 0.10-0.35% Silicon, and small percentages of other elements like Phosphorus and Sulphur.
Mechanical properties:When supplied in the black hot rolled condition, it boasts a tensile strength range of 600-790 MPa and a yield strength range of 440-570 MPa. It also exhibits good ductility and impact resistance.
Machinability:Silicon-calcium treatment and precise control of sulphur content contribute to its excellent machinability, leading to improved swarf breakup, increased feeds and speeds, and enhanced tool life.
Weldability:The low carbon content and vanadium addition contribute to its excellent weldability, making it suitable for various standard welding processes. Pre-heating or post-heating may be beneficial for larger sections or to reduce residual stresses after welding.
