Ultra High Strength Steel, is also know as UHSS. This type of steel normally has a tensile strength greater than 700 MPa (Megapascals). High deformability has been considered as a critical factor of ultra-high strength steel plates subjected to compressive, tensile, and bending deformation induced by large ground movements. Important: • Repair of this type of steel is not recommended. • This type of steel should be replaced only, at factory joints. Sectioning or partial replacement is not recommended. • The use of heat to repair damage is not recommended for this type of steel. • Stitch Welding is not recommended for this type of steel. • This type of steel can not be used as a backing reinforcement or a sleeve for a sectioning joint. Mask sure your repairer is educated about UHSS! It is important to know how to identify all types of steel so they can be repaired/replaced correctly!!
