High Strength Low Alloy Steel Tubing
High Strength Low Alloy steels have been created to achieve stronger steels while improving formability and weldability as compared to conventional carbon steels with similar strength levels. One of the key additions are small amounts of alloying elements. These quantities are too low to consider these steels as alloyed steels, therefore a family of HSLA steels were developed. Use of fine carbide formers such as vanadium, columbium (niobium), and titanium, have proven very effective in increasing strength levels of the steel, enough so that the carbon levels could drop significantly. The lower carbon content improves weldability, formability, and toughness. The small additions of vanadium, columbium, and/or titanium alloy both grain refinement and precipitation strengthening during the hot rolling process.
