Micro-alloyed High Strength Low Alloy steels (HSLA-steels) are widely used in civil construction, automobile and line pipe applications. They contain small quantities of alloying elements between 0,01 – 0,1 wt%, such as Niobium, Titanium, Vanadium, Aluminium and Nitrogen. These steels rely on thermo-mechanical rolling, a technique that simultaneously provides high strength, excellent toughness ...
