Improved profitability by means of material savings

Steel grades with an increased yield strength lead to an

application with reduced wall thickness. Thus, material

consumption goes down, and at the same time your overall

costs.

Utilizing weight-saving potentials by using high strength steels

Applications, for which weight reduction is the vital key

requirement, require the use of technologically advanced

high strength steels. This enables saving weight by up

to 39 %.

Increased product reliability by means of property-optimized materials

Applications, which are exposed to extreme conditions

such as very low temperatures or aggressive media, make

the highest demands on the material. The selection of the

appropriate material is decisive for the quality of your

product.

Fulfillment of individual high performance requirements by means of precisely designed products

In close collaboration with leading technological steel tube

manufacturers, we support you in the development of indi-

vidual steel tube products for specific material requirements.

Applications engineering

Markets and industries are constantly changing and with that, the demands for the applied mate-rials. Our proximity to the procurement and sales markets enable us to react to changing demands and utilize the potential of latest technological developments to the maximum.
