Steel, copper and precious metals, alloys or aluminum for lightweight construction as well as profiles, bent parts or laser parts for the development of new industrial goods
Metal: News for material selection in mechanical engineering
Here we report on new materials from the Metal Area. The development of new industrial goods requires innovations in steel, copper as well as precious metals, alloys or aluminum for lightweight construction. Processed metal can also be found here Materials such as profiles, bent parts or laser parts. So the right one succeeds material selection.
The material Metal is essential for industrial production. About 80% of the chemical elements in the periodic table are metals. The material metal is used in machine and plant engineering. If the applications become more difficult and properties such as corrosion protection are required, then comes precious metals or Stainless Steel as used in medical technology or in the food industry.
Brand new metal materials and products
Here you will find exciting news about the Material metal from Tata, Tanaka or the new Swiss Steel Group. Find out more about the optimal choice of materials for your construction:

The Kristal Solar Park is the largest photovoltaic system in the Benelux. Thanks to the corrosion-protected steel supplied by Wuppermann, it stands on a secure foundation. The steel coated with Z1200 has...
November 06.11.2023, 300 | The LHL1700-XNUMX core shooter is characterized by short cycle times, robustness and finesse Laempe Mössner Sinto GmbH. The built-in components ensure robustness Profile rail guides from Schaeffler. They can accommodate a limit load of 300 t under adverse conditions such as foundry technology.
Honeywell and SLM Solutions present a great success as part of their development partnership for the qualification of aluminum components with higher layer thicknesses. Newly developed parameter sets for the aluminum alloy F357 lead to significantly improved Materialproperties compared to the die-cast component.
Dreckshage now offers stainless steel 1.4404 as a bearing material. Due to the progress in the production of stainless steels, especially the reduction of the carbon content to very low values, 1.4404 has replaced almost all titanium-stabilized grades of type 1.4571.
Movement creates vibration. Numerous constructions therefore require complex solutions for vibration and / or sound damping. These can be entirely or at least partially saved by the LMPV by using components made from rolled magnesium products. Because the lightest of all metallic materials inherently has a very high damping capacity. It is in the range of soft polymers.
The fitting Gutekunst compression spring, Tension springs or Leg springs From spring steel wire, designers can use the spring selection in the Gutekunst catalog. In addition, the manufacturer offers programs for designing and calculating more individually metal springs. There is a generator for CAD-files available or the metal springs can be freely calculated.
Deutsche Edelstahlwerke, the German subsidiary of the Schmolz + Bickenbach Group, has expanded its range of products. Since March, the new hot-working steel "ThermodurE 40 K Superclean" is now available in all dimensions from 800 x 100 to 800 x 400 mm - on request also in machined form. Nemak's Polish subsidiary is currently testing steel as the material for die casting applications that will later be used to produce 4 cylinder engine blocks.
Wherever drives are installed and technical components are in motion, designers have to vibration build into your construction. Helmut Rübsamen produces high-precision mountings and bearing shells for well-known manufacturers in the industry Rubber metal buffer. They are used in mechanical engineering, Automotive industry, Rail technology, shipbuilding and energy technology.
Minitec manufactures Precision shafts now also in series. The provider of a modular system with aluminum profiles and Linear Technology offers cutting, axial and radial processing as well as milling. To this end, the company has equipped itself with the latest technology at its Waldmohr site in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Steeltec (Schmolz + Bickenbach) opens up users of high-alloy steel now a solution that combines high performance with price stability. The subsidiary of the Schmolz + Bickenbach Group is turning its Xtreme performance Technology (XTP) on precipitation hardening ferritic-pearlitic (AFP) steels. The resulting fine grain increases the room temperature Impact strength by more than 50% up to 150 J with high strength.
Wolfensberger is pressing ahead with the development of a molding and casting process for the manufacture of thin-walled cast steel parts. This could set the course for securing future competitive strength in sand casting. The aim of the new process is to manufacture cast steel parts using the sand casting process with wall thicknesses from 2 mm, which offer new and interesting market opportunities.
