Ymagine® is a range of high-quality, pickled and oiled steel products. Excellent workability and tight tolerances mean that it offers a cost effective alternative to traditional cold-rolled steel.
It offers homogeneous mechanical properties and chemical composition with a low level of residual elements and inclusions. Its benefits include:
- End products of consistent and reliable quality
- Lighter and stronger products
- Faster and easier processing
- Increased output per tonne of steel
- Reduced waste and rework
The high-strength, low-alloy grades provide opportunities for weight savings or enhanced product strength. The surface quality of Ymagine is comparable to hot-rolled pickled and oiled steel.
Produced to precise tolerances, Ymagine provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional cold-rolled steel. It is also a highly suitable replacement for hot-rolled steel where repeatable product quality, ease-of-processing and lower cost are design drivers.
There are currently seven steel grades in the range. These include a basic grade and a structural steel. The five HSLA grades range from Ymagine 45 XF up to the highest strength, Ymagine 70 XF, which offers excellent formability benchmarked against competitive material. Ymagine H500 has been developed to meet the growing demand for strong but lightweight automotive components in gauges that are difficult to produce by conventional hot strip mills.
The steels are available in a thickness range of 0.045 - 0.118 inch – all produced to tight tolerances. Widths range from 39.37 inch to 60 inch. A range of coil weights means we can tailor the supply of Ymagine to best meet your needs.
