Higher payload
Lower own weight of the wehicle offers an opportunity to increase payload As a rule of thumb, thickness of the structural material can be reduced according to the formula at right
Example: Original material: 10 mm, S355 New material: Optim 700 MC => t2 = 7.1 mm 30 % reduction in thickness! 1 2
t2 = t1 x
t2 = 10.0 x

Higher reach
Skylifts are used for fire applications and maintenance of wind mills World s highest model today reaches 112 m, materials are Optim 650 MC and Optim 900 QC It has been possible to increase the horizontal reach of a fire application by 10 - 20 % by changing to Optim 960 QCW steel

Reduction in thickness from 10 mm to 8 mm reduces weigth by 20 %. At the same time volume of weld seam is reduced by 36 % =>
Lower consumption of filler material and higher productivity

Welding consumables
High strength (matching) filler materials need to be used if there is a requirement for high strength weld If weld is not exposed to high stresses it is always beneficial to use softer (undermatching) filler materials Recommendations for suitable filler materials can be found on Ruukki s data sheets

Welding of Optim-steels
Summary
When choosing the welding parameters pay attention to the designed stress level
Several welding wire distributors have suitable filler materials, some of them are listed on Ruukki s data sheets Welding parameters, especially arc energy, affect the mechanical properties of the HAZ For high strength material: Pay attention to the cleanness of welding grooves !
Minor discontinues may cause lifetime decrease because of higher stress level

Microstructure
Affect of arc energy
Too rapid cooling increases the hardening of HAZ and makes the material more susceptible to cold cracking. Too slow cooling decreases the hardness, strength and impact strength of the joint. Optimal properties in welded structures are reached when cooling time t8/5 is in range of 10 s 20 s For MAG welding of a 10 mm thick plate, the cooling time requirement corresponds to the arc energy range of 1.2 - 1.7 kJ/mm.

Working temperature
Increasing the working temperature slows the cooling of welded joints, which decreases the generation of a hard and brittle microstructure in the heat affected zone (HAZ) It is recommended to increase the working temperature of Raex 400, when the combined plate thickness exceeds about 40 mm. The respective thickness is about 30 mm for Raex 450 mm and 20 mm for Raex 500. Raex 300 does not usually require an elevated working temperature in a normal workshop environment.

Raex
Use non-alloyed, undermatching filler materials, when possible If a good wear resistance of weld is needed, capping runs can be welded with alloyed filler materials Elevated working temperature shall be used when hardness and/or plate thickness increases
Please, take a look on the tables on Ruukki s data sheet

Raex
Welding should be done continuously Excessive cooling of the welded plate should be avoided Mineral wool can be used to avoid excessive cooling Welding should be commenced in the middle of the plate Dry welding consumables may only be used
For more detailed info, please take a look on the brochure Welding and Thermal Cutting of Raex-steels at www.ruukki.com!
