BERINGER Behälter BERINGER MATERIAL SCIENCE Dear customer! The great variety of steel grades and brands often creates confusion when it comes to choose a suitable container. Therefore we would like to give our customers a short overview of different steel grades, labeling and material properties.

BERINGER Behälter General Definitions Yield stress the yield stress indicates the tension until the material doesn‘t show any persistent distortions. Labeling ReH Tensile strength represents the tension when material is cracking. Labeling Rm Hardness in general hardness is the mechanical resistance of material against ingression of a block. Hardness is measured by pressing a reference block into the steel and the persistent pit is evaluated. A common method for measuring hardness is the „Brinell Method“.The unit is HBW (W stands for tungsten carbide, because the material is tested with a bullet...

BERINGER Behälter High-grade steel Application high-grade steel is used for construction of products and product parts which are made for regular use e.g. skips and bins. Labeling e. g. meanings Steel: min. yield stress: impact strength: heat treatment: cold workability: S 235 N/mm2 JR: ambient temperature N: normalized - Our labeling we label high-grade steel according to EN 10025-2 or EN 10149-2 without further information about impact strength or other mechanical properties.

BERINGER Behälter High tensile steel High tensile steel is steel with a minimum yield stress higher than 355 N/mm2. Due to manufacturing methods, high tensile steel has a high mechanical load capacity and it’s material usage can be reduced in comparison to high-grade steel at same load capacity.. Application we use high tensile steel for products and product parts which are made for heavy duty use. E. g. top edge profiles and Ro-Ro containers for transport of heavy goods as well as light variation Ro-Ro containers. Labeling currently it is common to label high tensile steel with a brand name...

BERINGER Behälter High tensile steel Product advantages achieved by using high tensile steel: Container weight can be reduced by keeping equal load capacity – due to higher yield stress of high tensile steel. The ´weight reduction achieved by using high tensile steel can be calculated by the following formula: thickness high tensile steel thickness high-grade steel yield stress high-grade steel yield stress high tensile steel How much of material thickness can be reduced by using S 460 MC instead of S 235 JR (5mm)? By using S 460 MC instead of S 235 (5 mm) the thickness of steel plates can be...

BERINGER Behälter Wear-resistant steel wear-resistant is steel with special wear properties due to it’s hardness. This extreme hardness resulting of high yield stress and tensile strength leads to high elastic recovery characteristics. Application we use wear-resistant steel for products and product parts which are made for extreme heavy duty use. E.g. bottom sections of headers and Ro-Ro containers for extreme heavy duty use (e.g. for transport of scrap or demolition waste). Labeling currently it is common to label wear-resistant steel with a brand name and the HBW data. e.g. HARDOX® 450 is...

BERINGER Behälter Wear-resistant steel Product advantages achieved by using wear-resistant steel Less buckling, because impact loads are absorbed by material. Empty weight of product can be reduced at equal load capacity, due to high yield stress of material. Easy refurbishment of products possible because of good processing characteristics of wearresistant steel. Long life-time cycles due to wear resistance of steel.
