N-A-XTRA® / XABO®
Application examples
In many structures, the use of high-strength special structural steels N-A-XTRA® and XABO® permits a reduction in plate thickness and therefore a reduction in material and processing costs as well as operating costs. Weight reduction is an increasingly important issue in truck and mobile crane construction, where the dimensions and axle loads of the vehicle and the overall weight of the structure are restricted by law.
The wide range of N-A-XTRA® and XABO® steels allows designers to choose the optimum grade for a particular application taking loading and production conditions into account.
N-A-XTRA® and XABO® steels have found a broad range of applications in many important areas of engineering.
