Engineering
WHEN IT COUNTS
More than almost any other sector, cutting-edge technology demands intelligent high-tech materials. The required properties reflect the entire range of applications. Medical technology, watchmaking, mechanical engineering or construction – BÖHLER steels are used wherever top technological performance is required. For our customers, we are much more than just a supplier. We are also an experienced development partner who repeatedly provides decisive impetus for advanced material applications and innovations.
Together with our customers, we develop customised solutions in the fields of medical technology, luxury watches and the electronics industry. Industry standards at the highest quality level and innovative products for special challenges are our speciality. In addition to the usual industry standards, we also offer our own developments, e.g. low-Ni steels for watches and medical technology or high-purity steels for the production of fine and ultra-fine wires and process belts.
Special requirements for materials for the engineering application segment include:
• Mechanical strength and toughness at temperatures below -100°C up to approx. 700°C
• Fatigue strength (cleanliness & homogeneity)
• Special physical properties (e.g. magnetisability, memory effect)
• Spring properties
• Corrosion resistance
