cold roll with hardness of 30 to 50 HRC

[shadow74]

Hi,

Does he exist a cold roll who can undergo transformations ( laser cutting, welding and nickel plating ) and hardness of 30 to 50 HRC without quenched after transformations ??

What kind of alloy are you looking for? Plain steel, stainless, Cu alloy?????

Hi EdStainless,

I'm looking for a plain steel or any kind of alloy in sheet metal ( 0.187" thickness ) but just in steel family.

Best regards

You might want to look at HSLA, high strength low alloy, steels.
Here is one of several suppliers.

In my (admittedly limited) experience attaining a Strength on Hrc 30-50 is only possible with a quench and temper treatment. Obviously laser cutting and welding will create a HAZ around the area the operation is performed.
