The global high strength steel is witnessing a good growth in the market, owing to its properties. Some of the quality of this steel includes high strength, high versatility, and formability. This type of steel is typically used in applications where high durability is required.
The tensile strength and hardness of this steel requires high wear resistance and chipping resistance tooling materials. The tempered and quenched steel are combined to form high strength and tough steel that are used in variety of applications in different industries.
High strength steel is majorly used for structural applications and is also known as structural steels. It can be produced using or without using small amount of micro alloying elements.
This is attributed to the increasing demand of this type of steel from automotive industry and also to its superior properties which includes increased formability, high corrosion strength, good weldability, and others.
The high strength steel market is segmented into high strength low alloy, dual phase, and others. During the forecast period, the high strength low alloy type category is anticipated to hold the largest share in the high strength steel market.
