ETG® 88/100

High-strength special steel

This is the world’s most machinable high-strength steel

ETG® 88/100 high-strength steels are characterized by their outstanding machinability. With ETG® steels, more than 20 standard steels can be replaced and your production processes can be optimized. This reduces logistics expenses and mitigates additional costs.

Why choose ETG® 88/100

ETG® 88/100 steels combine two characteristics that usually work against each other: strength and machinability. ETG® can replace a whole range of standard steels, improving the quality, safety, and reliability of precision parts as well as improving production times and cost per unit.

High strength

ETG® steels are offering high tensile and yield strengths as delivered. The high strength lies in the range of quenched and tempered steels. How we process the steel guarantees consistent mechanical properties over the entire cross section and dimension range. As delivered.

Machinability excellence

ETG® allows very high cutting speeds permitting to reduce the process time by up to 50%. They have low residual stresses and maintain dimensional stability. Their short-breaking chips supports safer and leaner production practices. And improve machine uptimes.

Green steel key visual nachhaltiger stahl

Climate-neutral steel production

With our Green Steel, we are taking an important step towards climate-neutral steel production. Scrap steel is used as the main raw material and the steel is produced using the electric steel process with energy sources with a low CO2 content. This results in a CO2 footprint well below the industry average.
