Laser Plus is a new generation of steels for laser cutting. It provides a maximum flatness deviation of 3mm/m after laser cutting and a bending radius of 0â1.5x the material thickness. These features make it possible to meet challenging requirements in automated production environments.
âThe dead flat process gives optimum flatness and minimum internal stress. The flatness tests on Laser Plus show unique results. Strict thickness tolerances and constant mechanical properties for each and every delivery result in trouble-free production. In addition, the smooth surface quality of Laser Plus steel guarantees a higher cutting speed and first-class surface quality of the cut edge.â?, says Robert Wesdijk, product group manager, Hot Rolled Strip products, Western Europe, at SSAB.

The production process of Laser Plus steels results in a surface that is covered with a thin micro scale. This enables extremely efficient laser- water- and plasma-cutting. Laser Plus steels are available as heavy plates and hot-rolled strip products. It is the new standard for demanding applications such as mechanical engineering and construction, as well as in the automotive and electronics industries. The product has been developed in close cooperation with laser cutting system manufacturers, end users, distribution partners and Ruukki, which merged with SSAB in July 2014.
