Bearing steels

Bearing steels are alloyed, through-hardening engineering steels based on the analysis of the traditional rolling bearing steel 100Cr6. This steel is characterized by a high martensitic hardness and, together with chromium carbides, this steel counteracts wear caused by abrasion.

Für höhere Anforderungen und größere Dimensionen

Höhere Anforderungen und größere Dimensionen haben zu zahlreichen Modifikationen der Grundgüte 100Cr6 geführt, abhängig von der gewünschten Abmessung mit höherem oder niedrigerem Chromgehalt. Legierungselemente, wie Mangan und Molybdän, erhöhen die Durchhärtbarkeit des Stahls und werden für größere Härtequerschnitte verwendet. Die gängigsten Wälzlagerstähle sind in der DIN EN ISO 683-17 genormt.

Basierend auf dem traditionellen Stahl 100Cr6 (SAE51000) dienen analytische Veränderungen, z.B. für höhere Wandstärken, zu gleichbleibender Zuverlässigkeit im Überrollverhalten.

Green steel key visual nachhaltiger stahl

Klimaneutrale Stahlproduktion

Mit unserem Green Steel gehen wir einen wichtigen Schritt in Richtung einer klimaneutralen Stahlproduktion. Als Hauptrohstoff dient Stahlschrott, im Elektrostahlverfahren wird der Stahl mit Energiequellen mit geringem CO2 Gehalt hergestellt. Dies führt zu einem CO2-Fußabdruck deutlich unter dem Branchendurchschnitt.

New EU steel safeguard measures change framework conditions for Steeltec

The European Union (EU) has adopted new steel safeguard measures that will enter into force on July 1, 2026. Duty-free import volumes into the EU will be reduced by 47% from 34.5 million tons to 18.3 mil-lion tons. Imports exceeding these quotas will be subject to a tariff of 50%, up from the previous rate of 25%. The measures apply to steel producers from third countries, including Switzerland, exporting products into the European Union. Steeltec AG, based in Emmenbrücke and part of Swiss Steel Group, is among the companies affected by the new regime.

Firmly anchored in the rock - Swiss Steel Group’s Top12 anchors secure a new section of road high above Lake Lucerne

100 years – that is the lifetime expected for the new section of the K2b cantonal highway between Vitznau and Gersau following its renovation and modernization. This is made possible in no small part by the Top12 special stainless steel from the Swiss Steel Group, from which the anchors for the retaining wall structure and support elements are manufactured. Over a hundred of these were drilled several meters deep into the steep rock face. They secure the walls and beams that support the new, 350-meter-long section of road. The structure is spectacular not only from a geotechnical perspective but also for everyone who drives over it and enjoys a breathtaking view of Lake Lucerne below.
