What is Fire Resistant Steel?
Fire-resistant steel is a type of steel that retains a significant portion of its strength when exposed to high temperatures, typically around 550 degrees Celsius, for specified periods. In general, steel is considered fire-resistant if it can maintain approximately 60-65% of its strength at room temperature under these elevated heat conditions. The fire-resistant properties are often achieved through specific alloying systems, such as Cr-Mo-V-Nb, which enhance the steel’s ability to withstand fire effects.
