Product Overview

Materials Table

The range of available steel grades used by our company extends from general-purpose constructional steel over case hardening steel and tempering steel to corrosion- and acid resistant or highly heat-resistant steel. In close cooperation with the customer we suggest the ideal combination of materials according to the specific area of application. Trust us and you will benefit from our long years of experience when optimizing your chain.

Below is a list of the most common materials used in our workshop including standard hardness values. Of course, we also produce customer-specific from all available steel grades. Let us know your requirements and together we will find the best possible solution.
