DILLIMAX 550 Basic (EN 1.8904)

DILLIMAX 550 Basic (EN 1.8904) introduction

DILLIMAX 550 is a high strength quenched and tempered, fine grained structural steel (through sufficient aluminium content) with a minimum yield
strength of 550 MPa (80 ksi) in its delivery condition (referring to the lowest thickness range). Its mechanical

properties are achieved by water quenching followed by tempering.
