HBIS Manufacturing Promotes Upgrading and Replacement of Wheel Materials for Large Mining Trucks

Recently, HBIS Group Handan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. delivered 24mm ultra-thick high-strength wheel steel 490CL, which was customized for a leading domestic construction machinery company. The product's welding performance, forming performance, and fatigue resistance fully meet the customer's requirements and will replace ordinary low alloy steel in the manufacture of the customer's large mining truck steel wheels.
High-strength wheel steel has high strength, excellent low-temperature toughness, and fatigue resistance, which can effectively improve the safety performance of automobiles while reducing the weight of the whole vehicle. The products manufactured by Handan Steel Group can reduce the weight of wheels by more than 30% and extend their service life by more than 20%, making wheels lighter and more durable.
Handan Steel Group adheres to a customer-centric approach, closely follows the development trend of high-strength and lightweight wheels and the market demand for specific applications, and leverages its integrated advantages in production, sales, research and application to provide customers with material selection, design and customized product development solutions. The R&D team strengthened technical collaboration and, in conjunction with the customer's cold roll forming process for wheels and their needs for weight reduction and lightweighting, adopted a special alloying composition design and exclusive rolling process to customize and develop this product for the customer. During the production process, technicians strengthen quality control in steelmaking, continuous casting, rolling and other stages to improve the internal quality and shape quality of the cast billets and ensure high-quality product delivery.
