Innovation and quality for forged products
Steel bars are processed worldwide for the automotive industry and mechanical engineering using a wide variety of methods, including being upset, forged, rolled, and hot or cold extruded. The steels used for this purpose must fulfil the most stringent requirements regarding their quality and characteristics.
They are used, among other things, in
- Crankshafts
- Wheel hubs
- Connecting rods
- Drive shafts
- Rotor shafts for electric drives
- Axles and steering knuckles
- Pistons and piston pins
That’s why quality at Saarstahl begins even before the start of production. Our manufacturing and testing equipment are always designed to fulfil the most stringent demands of our customers, and our continuous quality inspections confirm the complete reliability of each product. Innovations such as Mechanical Soft Reduction (MSR) offer our customers improved material properties. In addition to black rolled or peeled material types, among others, you can find the following types in our production range:
- AFP steels (microalloyed steels)
- Alloyed and non-alloyed constructional steels
- Case hardening steels
- Quenched and tempered steels
- Chain steels
Material developments such as bainitic steels offer potential for lightweight construction and the possibility of reducing carbon emissions.
