SED 8 (ePDF) Use and Application of High-Performance Steels for Steel Structures

Use and Application of High-Performance Steels for Steel Structures, edited by Hans-Peter Günther, ISBN3-85748-113-7, published in 2005. New steel production processes have led to a remarkable improvement in steel products within the last few years, and now allows steels to be produced according to the desired mechanical and chemical properties. High Performance Steel (HPS) is the designation given to this new generation of steels that offer higher performance not only in terms of strength but also toughness, weldability, cold formability and corrosion resistance, compared to the traditionally used mild steel grades.
