DRIVEN BY INNOVATION
Nothing drives the automotive industry like efficiency and innovation. In the constant competition for market share, only those who lead the way with forward-looking ideas and actively help to shape technological progress will survive in the long term. For decades, our customers have included the most important car manufacturers and their suppliers. We develop and produce highly functional materials for them – especially for the highly stressed powertrain and engine area as well as for fuel injection components, naturally in high quality and under high product safety standards and under the strictest quality assurance precautions.
Our customers order the products according to the required specifications and standards, we produce, inspect and deliver the perfect materials exactly according to their requirements, in the desired composition and dimensions, with the desired properties. The versatile automotive product portfolio leaves nothing to be desired for our customers and partners, including special soft magnetic materials, high-performance case-hardening steels right up to HSS and hot-work tool steels.
Special requirements for materials for the automotive industry include:
• Mechanical strength and toughness at temperatures below -100°C up to approx. 700°C
• Fatigue strength
• Special physical properties (e.g. magnetisability)
• Machinability
• Wear resistance
