Hotdipgalvanising
The thickness of the zinc layer created during hotdip galvanising depends on the silicon content of the steel. Ruukki
guarantees a silicon content of 0.150.25% for double grade structural hollow sections. When using appropriate hotdip
galvanisingmethodsthisallowstheformationofazinclayerofover100m,whichissufficientformostapplications.

Forming
The formability of Ruukki double grade is particularly good. Its minimum elongation is the same as with S355J2H, which
ensures excellent deformation capacity. In addition, the steel grade has a uniform microstructure and a very low sulphur
content.Thisensures,forexample,excellentexpandability.
Welding
Ruukkiguaranteesamaximumcarbonequivalentof0.39fordoublegradestructuralhollowsections.Therefore,theproduct
can be welded with all conventional welding methods and no special measures, such as preheating, are needed.
Recommended welding consumables are shown in table 4. The structural engineer must take the steel gradespecific
minimumandmaximumweldspecificationsintoaccountwhendesigningwelds.
When welding structures that require welding qualifications in compliance with standard EN 2871, the qualification test
must be passed at the minimum in material class 2.1 of the standard ISO 5608. Such structures include, among others,
steelstructuresmadeincompliancewithEN10902.
