Shop priming gives steel temporary corrosion protection for the transport period, shortterm storing and workshop processing.Inengineeringworkshopoperationitimprovesthecleanlinessofworkingenvironmentandoccupationalsafety. Cuttingandweldingshopprimedplatesiseasy.Moreover,theadherenceofspattersonthesteelstructureissignificantly decreased.

Flatcutshapes
Using flat cut shapes, the manufacture andthroughput time of installation will decrease. The customer will receive the needed components ready for installation, and can thus avoid unnecessary material and storing costs. If ordered, the productsaredeliveredasshopprimed,bevelledandbent.

Heattreatment
Hardened steels are not intended to be heat treated.Tempering in the maximum temperature of 200 C is the only heat treatment which will maintain the abrasion resistance properties of the plate at a good level. Heat treatment in higher temperaturesdecreasesthestrength,hardnessandabrasionresistancepropertiesofsteels.
