Introduction
S500MC
is a high strength hot rolled structural steel used for cold formed components.
As S500MC
is a load bearing steel, considerations regarding suitability need to be made at
the procurement stage.

Applications of S500MC High Yield Steel
The material is used in a variety of applications including structural beams,
frames and as cold rolled steel sections. The steel benefits from good
weldability but heat treatment should be avoided as this is known to reduce the
yield strength of the material.
