Forta

La gamma Forta comprende acciai inossidabili duplex, austenitici e ferritici temprati e laminati della serie H che consentono strutture più sottili e riduzione del peso (misurato in Rp0.2 > 350 MPa. PRE 16 - 43). 

L'acciaio inossidabile duplex (austenitico-ferritico) combina molte delle migliori proprietà degli acciai inossidabili austenitici e ferritici: elevata robustezza, buona resistenza alla corrosione e maggiore resistenza alla tensocorrosione (Rp0.2 > 400 MPa. PRE 26 - 43).

Forta DX 2205 (EN 1.4462) è il prodotto duplex più noto che offre un'ottima resistenza alla corrosione uniforme e localizzata e alla tensocorrosione in combinazione con un'elevata resistenza meccanica. Super duplex Forta SDX 2507 (EN 1.4410), con resistenza alla corrosione e resistenza meccanica maggiori rispetto a Forta DX 2205, viene spesso utilizzato in ambienti estremamente corrosivi, ad esempio in condizioni di desalinizzazione, in applicazioni chimiche o sottomarine offshore.

La serie H è costituita da acciai inossidabili completamente austenitici contenenti manganese, ad alta resistenza e alta duttilità (Rp0.2 > 400 MPa. PRE  21). Forta H400 (EN 1.4376) con un contenuto di nichel inferiore ha una robustezza maggiore rispetto agli acciai inossidabili austenitici standard 304/304L ed è una soluzione economica per applicazioni automobilistiche leggere.

Forta H500 (EN 1.4678) ha una microstruttura completamente austenitica e non magnetizzabile con notevole incrudimento dovuto alla geminazione. Con una resistenza allo snervamento superiore a 500 MPa, è una perfetta alternativa leggera per componenti rilevanti per la sicurezza nell'industria automobilistica e dei trasporti. 

Gli acciai inossidabili temprati e laminati hanno robustezza e durezza elevate (Rp0.2 > 350 MPa. PRE 16 - 25). Per incrudimento si intende un processo aggiuntivo di laminazione a freddo controllato che viene applicato agli acciai inossidabili austenitici e ferritici standard e aumenta la resistenza e la durezza superficiale degli acciai. La classificazione della resistenza comprende classi di resistenza allo snervamento da CP350 fino a CP1100 MPa e classi di resistenza alla trazione da C700 fino a C1900 MPa.

L'acciaio inossidabile austenitico temprato e laminato Forta 301/4310 (EN 1.4310) può raggiungere la classe di resistenza più alta. Forta H800 (EN 1.4678) e Forta H1000 (EN 1.4678) sono lo stato temprato e laminato di Forta H500 e non ancora magnetico. Offrono una maggiore resistenza alle parti rilevanti per la sicurezza nelle collisioni e una soluzione a prezzo basso e stabile nel settore automobilistico.
