Steeltec publishes
material selection guide
Components used in high-tech
applications have to meet increasingly
sophisticated demands, such as greater
efficiency, improved dynamic strength
and longer service life. Cost-effective
production processes are essential to
maintaining long-term market viability.
In its recently issued Material Selection
Guide, Steeltec has identified five steps
that manufacturers of advanced steel
components can take to select the
right high-performance steel for their
purposes and to optimise the costs of
their manufacturing processes.
The guide explains the benefits of
getting the material selection process
right and the problems that can arise
when the wrong choice is made, and
recommends ways to optimise material
processing and machining stages. It
also provides checklists that enable
users to translate their individual
processing and product requirements
into material properties, and illustrates
preventive quality assurance measures.
A case study of electric power tool
manufacturer Metabo is included.
“We help component manufacturers to
achieve the best possible cost-benefit
ratio along the entire value chain,”
explained Guido Olschewski, head of
quality and product development at
Steeltec.
“The key is simply to provide
manufacturers with the best high-
performance steel for their specific
application needs.”
The free Material Selection Guide is
available as a downloadable PDF file or
a printed document.
