Sandvik Materials Technology is the world's largest manufacturer of Rock Drill Steel, with more than a century of experience. Fully integrated production all the way from steel melting to the finished product gives us unique control of the whole chain of manufacturing processes. Large scale production enables us to maintain a plant which is specially designed for and dedicated to the manufacture of drill steels.
Buderus cold rolled strip is produced exclusively from Buderus hot rolled strip. This gives Buderus cold rolled strip all the quality and logistical advantages associated with Buderus hot rolled strip:
- Close ranges of chemical composition
- Low segregation
- A high level of homogeneity within a heat
- Low gas content
- Low micro-inclusion content
- Ideal precision blanking properties thanks to its favourable annealed structure
- Low conversion costs through high tool life
- Close tolerances
- Short, reliable delivery times based on in-house melting facility
The Buderus speciality ISO-B grade is available as cold rolled strip as a matter of course.
Since 1920, Buderus has been successfully serving global markets for special steel products. The quality features of Buderus hot- and cold-rolled strip are founded on application-specific metallurgy and product technology systematically applied to satisfy customer requirements
and market trends. Extensive new investment and process developments have enabled Buderus Edelstahl Band Gmbh to transfer
to its stainless special steel products the established quality of Buderus hot- and cold-rolled strip, with its excellent precision blanking
structure and low segregation ingot casting.
The quality features of Buderus hot strip are founded on application-specific metallurgy and product technology systematically applied to satisfy customer requirements and market trends. The key factor here is judicious coordination of quality planning, smelting and rolling technology, and annealing processes in house.
We use ingots from our own steel mill. The symmetrical profile and uniform thickness tolerances throughout Buderus hot strip make it the ideal input stock for producing cold strip with precision tolerances.
Our steels satisfy the stringent requirements for punching and fine blanking, often in combination with critical forming processes.
Buderus special steels are characterized by:
- Close analytical limits
- Low level of segregation
- High level of homogeneity within a heat
- Low gas content
- Excellent annealing structure with maximum spheroidization
- Very good percentage purity
Sandvik Materials Technology is one of the world's leading manufacturers of strip steel. We supply strip with very good properties with respect to corrosion resistance, strength, workability, suitability for use at high temperatures, etc.
Our product program includes a wide range of steel grades and sizes for a wide range of applications. Our strength is thin precision strip steel.
In industries where washing and drying are key processes, such as in the food industry, steel belts are critical. For example, steel belts are ideal for drying foods to comply with hygienic standards. Steel belts
can be perforated, which, in combination with the
heat stability, allows for excellent drying processes.
