Built to last, designed to impress
The machines that operate under tough conditions, also show how professional you work. This means they must look as good as they operate.
Tata Steel's Valast combines wear resistance with great surface appearance.
Valast is ideal for paint appearance of tippers and other vehicles with long uniform surfaces.
No pre-treatments are needed to remove surface imperfections or to avoid an orange peel paint effect.
More uniform scale and no surface imperfections
Valast offers a superior surface quality thanks to the uniform scale layer. In any steelmaking process, an oxide layer forms on the surface of the steel. Wear resistant steel is often produced in reversing plate mills and cooled and hardened with water and air. This process creates a thick and uneven scale formation. In contrast, Valast is produced in a hot strip mill, which replaces the quenching method of the reversing mill process with a direct cooling method. This results in a thinner and more homogeneous scale layer. State of art decoiling ensures any remaining uneven scale is removed prior to levelling and cutting the material to its ordered length
Valast is available in 400 - 450 - 500 HB (Brinell hardness) and can be supplied to you in custom sheet lengths and with shorter lead times due to our robust local supply chain.
