Be it resistance to corrosion, acids, or heat: Our precision steel strip made of stainless steels offers maximum performance. Especially when increased demands are placed on formability or later properties. Our precision steel strip has proven its worth for many years, especially for demanding applications in medical technology, safety-relevant components in the automotive industry, and electrical engineering. In addition, stainless steel strip with extremely low nominal thicknesses is also used in the production of fuel cells. Especially when high requirements are placed on the formability and usage properties.
The main alloys chrome and nickel, in combination with molybdenum, niobium or titanium additives enable the high-precision calibration of further technological properties in addition to corrosion resistance such as deep drawability, bendability, or punchability as well as tailored spring properties.
By means of a special heat treatment, we generate homogenous microstructures regardless of the grade (ferritic, austenitic, and martensitic) needed. This ensures excellent further processing properties and exact reproducibility, even for the production of complex components.
If required, we are able to machine the slit edges of the steel strip to increase the stress cycles and service life of spring elements.
As an additional feature, we offer various surface conditions such as a high-gloss or matte finish, for example, or depending on the intended use, a one-sided roughened or patterned finish.
Here you can download the current and historical alloy surcharges per ton as well as data sheets on our stainless precision steel strip grades. The data sheets contain information on the chemical composition, mechanical material properties such as yield strength and tensile strength, and the available strength classes and surface finishes.
High-strength, corrosion-resistant steel is used to manufacture locking discs for window regulator motors. The special characteristic of this material is its high ductility, which allows complex forming operations despite its high strength. In addition, the material from Waelzholz guarantees tight tolerances.
Particularly thin precision steel strip made from stainless steel is used for bipolar plates in a fuel cell system. Our stainless bipolar plate steel grades (BPP steel grades) stand out for their excellent formability and flatness. This makes it possible to create complex shapes and serves as the basis for exceptional dimensional stability.
Stainless precision steel strip is used for hose clamps in the engine compartment. Its main advantage is the combination of high-strength material properties and high residual ductility. Thanks to the evenly adjusted rust resistance, there is no need for a further anti-corrosion coating.
