The Swiss Steel Group’s Materials Guide supports users in the search for the right steel solution according to the individual requirements. Users will get a quick overview of the wide range of applications offered by the group’s various steel grades for important application industries, including automotive, aerospace, wind energy, oil and gas, and molds. Other sectors are planned for inclusion in the near future.

Search results include a quick and easy overview of important applications, examples of steel grades and steel types, and a supplying business unit.

The Materials Guide gives examples based on selected steel grades for particular industries. For example, search results are shown for steel grades produced by Swiss Steel Group that meet the requirements of the automotive industry. The results name the steel grade, its quality and  the manufacturer within the Group for workpieces, such as ABS, exhaust, fuel line, brake discs, differential, injection pump, springs, molds for plastic parts, gearboxes, camshafts, connecting rods, adjustment systems for electric motors, water coolers and tools and more.

The Materials Guide currently includes the product lines for engineering steel, stainless, acid and heat-resistant steels, and tool steel. The company says the Materials Guide is being continuously expanded to include additional steel grades for other industrial sectors, making it a valuable compendium for all steel users.

The Swiss Steel Group also produces special steels for the aerospace industry, where meeting requirements in terms of reliability and safety is paramount. Highly stressed parts must be made of resistant material that meets the highest standards. For the production of these special steels, the Swiss Steel Group offers modern production facilities and many decades of experience and know-how in manufacturing and processing. The aerospace industry, in particular, is increasingly turning to green steel to reduce its carbon footprint. 

The Swiss Steel Group has also developed tailor-made steel grades that are needed by the oil and gas industry. These are special steel solutions for use in adverse conditions, able to withstand the highest demands in terms of strength or wear resistance, temperature or corrosion resistance.

The company also covers a range of applications for both the onshore and offshore sectors as well as for the extraction of conventional and alternative resources. With high-tech products, the company supports efficient energy and resource extraction, including blowout preventers, magnetic heavy bars, steel for pump blocks in production facilities, and fracking blocks, valves, fittings and filters.

The Steel Group’s portfolio of steel grades for oil and gas exploration includes low- and high-alloy engineering steels, ferritic, martensitic, high-alloy austenitic and duplex stainless steels, and amagnetic steels.

In the newest category, users will find everything for molds, including extrusion, die forging, die casting and injection molding.
