HSX®

Higher-strength special steel

The highest strength combined with toughness and machinability

The higher-strength special HSX® steels are characterized by outstanding properties with additional good machinability. With HSX® your manufacturing process becomes shorter and safer. This brings cost-relevant advantages across the entire process chain.

Why choose HSX®

For tougher, compacter components of lower weight. For exacting quality, safety, and reliability of precision parts. HSX® steels take the impossible beyond.

High strength

The higher strength of HSX® steels 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.

Tailored for complexity

HSX® steels can be tailored to withstand high dynamic or static loading. HSX® steel components withstand high compressive stress and hold up to impact loads and transmission of forces.

Machinability

The process-friendly chipping of HSX® steels supports faster and leaner production practices. Reducing wear on machine tools and improving 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.
