Northwestern University developed copper-precipitation-hardened, high-performance weathering steel (NUCu 70W Steel) that is produced by hot rolling after casting and then air-cooling. Due to simple processing the steel is fabricated at lower cost than competing high-performance steels that require quench and tempering. NUCu 70W steel can be easily welded without pre-...
This brochure contains information on the NUCu Steel ASTM A-710 Grade B project published at Northwestern University's Infrastructure Technology Institute with the support of the Illinois Department of Transportation. The brochure includes further explanation to Current and Potential Applications, Chemical Composition and Steel Processing, Mechanical and Fracture Properties, Corrosion, Welding,...
