1.0570 - AT A GLANCE

What kind of steel is the 1.0570?
Der Werkstoff 1.0570 ist ein unlegierter Baustahl, der auch als St52-3 oder als ~S355J2+N bezeichnet wird.
Die Bezeichnung ~S355J2+N steht für:
S
355
J2
+N
= Structural steel
= the minimum yield strength in N/mm2
= is the impact strength at -20°C (min. 27 joules)
= Normalised or normalising rolled for an optimised homogeneity and toughness of this steel grade
S = Struktureller Stahl
355 = die Mindeststreckgrenze in N/mm2
J2 = ist die Kerbschlagarbeit bei -20 °C (mind. 27 Joule)
+N = Normalgeglüht oder Normalisierungsgewalzt zur Verbesserung der Homogenität und Zähigkeit dieser Stahlgüte
The 1.0570 has a good machinability, dimensional stability and due to its low carbon content can be welded well. This naturally hard / annealed tool steel is only used for unhardened components.

Properties
The strutural steel 1.0570 has excellent mechanical properties and weldability. It can be used in many industries due to its good combination of machinability, toughness and strength. All of these properties make the 1.0570 a reliable and cost effective tool steel.
- Unalloyed structural steel
- Good machinability
- Good dimensional stability
- High toughness
- Good weldability due to its low carbon content
- Naturally hard / annealed
- Magnetisable
- Hardening is not usually done
- Polishing is not usually done
