3.5 Type of delivery

3.5.1 General
As ordered.

3.5.2 For rear axle carrier

Strip with mill edges from ingot casting or continuous casting with mill edges or slit continuous
casting that, after the separation of an initial cross section (A), was rerolled in caliber to
a semifinished product cross section (B) and then rolled out to the final dimensions. The following
specifications apply here:
ņ Surface ratio A:B ≥ 3.5
ņ B must be at least (180 × 180) mm
ņ The slit continuous casting edge must become the strip surface (can be checked via
segregation etching).

3.6 Chemical composition in weight percent

See Table 1.

0.14 0.30 to 0.02 0.03 to
1.4 0.07
1) The amount of additive is determined by the fine grain effect to be attained (≈ 0.1% Ti; ≈ 0.05% Nb; ≈ 0.08% Zr).
If only one element is to be used, the abbreviation for this element shall be placed after the TL number (e.g. TL 1114 Ti).

3.7 Microstructure and physical properties

3.7.1 Surface
Surface free of coarse pores, splinters and rolling marks (according to DIN EN 10130, surface
finish A).

3.7.2 Grain size

7 to 12 according to DIN EN ISO 643.

3.7.3 Density
7.85 kg/dm3

No. Property Unit Requirement
1 Tensile strength
General N/mm2 500 to 600
For rear axle carrier N/mm2 520 to 620
2 Yield point N/mm2 ≥ 360
3 Elongation at break % ≥ 22 (L0 = 80 mm)
