*The values given in the tables are typical values (neither maximum nor minimum values), for properly heat treated materials at a
hardness level of 44-46 HRc. Thermal conductivity values are calculated on the basis of thermal diffusivity values measured by laser
flash.

TOUGHNESS COMPARISON HP1 EFICAST 3-ER

V-notched Charpy (%) NA ≥ 160
* For the Rovalma grades, V-notched Charpy values have been obtained in samples taken from the center of a 700 x 520 mm bar,
hardened at 1000 °C for 30 min., quenched in air and tempered twice. Final hardness was 44- 46 HRc.
