Bethlehem's XF Series steels offer a cost-effective combination of strength, formability and weldability to help you improve your product. (page 2)

Figs. 4 and 5 show the dependence of bendability and sheared-edge stretchability (hole expansion) of B80XF as a function of sulfur content.

It is in these two common fabricating requirements that the superior forming characteristics of low-sulfur XF steels.
