Ymagine® is a range of high-quality, pickled and oiled steel products. Excellent workability and tight tolerances mean that it offers a cost effective alternative to traditional cold-rolled steel
It offers homogeneous mechanical properties and chemical composition with a low level of residual elements and inclusions. Its benefits include:
- End products of consistent and reliable quality
- Lighter and stronger products
- Faster and easier processing
- Increased output per tonne of steel
- Reduced waste and rework
The high-strength, low-alloy grades provide opportunities for weight savings or enhanced product strength. The surface quality of Ymagine is comparable to hot-rolled pickled and oiled steel.
Produced to precise tolerances, Ymagine provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional cold-rolled steel. It is also a highly suitable replacement for hot-rolled steel where repeatable product quality, ease-of-processing and lower cost are design drivers
There are currently seven steel grades in the range. These include a basic grade and a structural steel. The five HSLA grades range from Ymagine H240 up to the highest strength, Ymagine H500, which offers excellent formability benchmarked against competitive material. Ymagine H500 has been developed to meet the growing demand for strong but lightweight automotive components in gauges that are difficult to produce by conventional hot strip mills.
The steels are available in a thickness range of 1.2 mm to 3 mm – all produced to tight tolerances even up to 1/4 EN 10051. Widths range from 1000 mm to 1530 mm. A range of coil weights means we can tailor the supply of Ymagine to best meet your needs.
Ymagine® product families
EN-Engineering-Product-Ymagine Direct-rolled-Forming TSN
Steel for forming
Ymagine® D1 is a direct-rolled, pickled and oiled, basic light-gauge drawing grade. Like all of our Ymagine grades, it is suitable for a range of production processes. Consistent product characteristics deliver trouble-free processing and help to maximise yield.
EN-Engineering-Product-Ymagine Direct-rolled-HSS TSN
High-strength steel
Ymagine® direct-rolled steel comes in five high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) grades offering either weight savings or enhanced product strength without weight penalties.
EN-Engineering-Product-Ymagine direct-rolled-Structural steel TSN
Structural steel
Ymagine® S1 is a direct-rolled, pickled and oiled, structural steel. It provides a viable alternative to cold-rolled and hot-rolled steel and is suitable for a range of production processes. Consistent quality delivers trouble-free processing and helps to maximise yield.
