What is the yield strength of the Tourneo body steel?
1 Answers
The yield strength of the main body steel of the Tourneo is above 1300MPa. The main body of the Tourneo is made of boron steel. Boron steel is a low-alloy steel formed by mixing boron into low-carbon steel. The boron content ranges between 0.0005% and 0.005%, making boron steel one of the ultra-high-strength steels. Below is an introduction to the boron steel used in the Tourneo: 1. The yield strength and tensile strength of boron steel can reach above 1300MPa and 1600MPa respectively, which is about four times the strength of ordinary steel. It is classified as ultra-high-strength steel. Boron steel parts are usually formed in one step after hot processing, hence boron steel is also known as hot-formed steel. 2. In the automotive industry, boron steel can be simply equated to ultra-high-strength steel. With the emergence of more advanced steels, boron steel has gradually 'dispersed' into civilian applications. Its strength standard is about four times that of ordinary steel, but its price far exceeds four times.
