TRUECORE® steel Benefits
TRUECORE® steel is manufactured by BlueScope in accordance with the relevant Australian standards (AS1397:2011 and AS/NZS 1365:1996). These standards encompass requirements for thickness, width, mechanical properties, and coating mass. TRUECORE® steel has a distinctive blue resin applied, which makes light gauge steel frames made from TRUECORE® steel coil easily identified across building sites. Along with this distinctive blue colour, the product comes clearly branded with the TRUECORE® steel trademark, providing confidence in the product’s quality and compliance.
The inherent strength and durability of TRUECORE® steel provide structural integrity in various environments and conditions, with no concerns of shrinking, twisting, or warping. Frames constructed with TRUECORE® steel feature BlueScope’s Activate® technology, providing enhanced corrosion resistance.
TRUECORE® steel offers many benefits to roll formers and end-users:
- High-Strength and Lightweight
TRUECORE® steel is manufactured using advanced steel technology, resulting in a high-strength material with a low weight-to-strength ratio. Offering excellent structural integrity while being lighter compared to traditional steel makes TRUECORE® steel advantageous for applications where weight reduction is desired without compromising strength. - Grade Variations
TRUECORE® steel is available in various grades, each offering specific properties and strengths. These grades include TRUECORE® G300, TRUECORE® G450, and TRUECORE® G550. The different grades allow for tailored solutions based on specific application requirements, enabling optimal performance in different load-bearing scenarios. - Formability
TRUECORE® steel exhibits excellent formability and workability, allowing for easy fabrication, shaping and installation. This versatility makes TRUECORE® steel suitable for various framing applications. - Corrosion Resistance
TRUECORE® steel is typically coated with a protective layer, providing exceptional corrosion resistance. - Design Flexibility
TRUECORE® steel’s high strength-to-weight ratio and formability offer design flexibility. It allows architects and engineers to create innovative and efficient structures, utilising their lightweight nature while maintaining structural integrity. This flexibility enables cost-effective design solutions, reduces material usage, and allows for creative architectural expressions. - Sustainability
TRUECORE® steel is an environmentally friendly choice. Its lightweight nature reduces transportation costs and energy consumption during construction, contributing to overall sustainability efforts.
TRUECORE® steel’s versatility and performance characteristics contribute to efficient and durable framing structures while offering potential cost savings and environmental benefits. Our team at Coil Steels is experienced in the TRUECORE® steel range and can provide the processing needed to suit your steel framing manufacturing requirements.
