Domex 240 YP is a grade in the Domex-range of steels characterized by its unique properties regarding:

• Strength

• Cold forming

• Tight bend radius

• Toughness at low temperatures

• Weldability

• Suitability for laser cutting

These bring benefits in both production and the performance of the end product. The properties are achieved through a well-balanced analysis, sulphide control, fine grain structure and thermomechanical rolling.

Domex 240 YP is a structural grade that has been developed primarily to get a steel with excellent manufacturing characteristics and is suitable for cold forming, welding and laser cutting. This steel can be used in most applications where the demand on strength is moderate and where low weight is not the main factor.
Domex 240 YP can in many applications be used as a replacement for standardized material like S235JRG2 (Fe360 BFN, St 37-…). Domex 240 YP has a ductility that exceeds these materials and can therefore be used to produce parts more cost effectively, i.e. cold forming could replace hot forming or welding.
