| Silicon (Si) | 0.70 |
| Manganese (Mn) | 1.50 |
| Phosphorus (P) | 0.015 |
| Sulfur (S) | 0.010 |
| Chromium (Cr) | 1.50 |
| Nickel (Ni) | 2.50 |
| Molybdenum (Mo) | 0.80 |
| Boron (B) | 0.005 |
Ramor 550 is manufactured with strict dimensional control. Tolerances vary depending on whether the product is supplied as a sheet or plate. SSAB tolerances often exceed standard EN norms, ensuring higher reliability and flatness.
| Product Type | Thickness (mm) | Tolerance (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| Sheet | 3.00 – 4.00 | -0.0 / +0.36 |
| Sheet | 4.01 – 5.00 | -0.0 / +0.40 |
| Sheet | 5.01 – 6.00 | -0.0 / +0.42 |
| Plate | 6.0 – 7.9 | -0.0 / +0.80 |
| Plate | 8.0 – 15.0 | -0.0 / +1.00 |
