Specific advantages

We offer alform® steels as hot-rolled steel strip (in coils, slit strip or cut sheets) or heavy plate. A variety of production routes lead to specific product advantages. alform® steels find their applications wherever high plasticity coupled with high strength and light-weight design are in demand.

Special grades

High-strength and ultra-high-strength alform® steels are thermo-mechanically rolled with accelerated cooling.

Product benefits

• Excellent cold formability
• Edging radii smaller than those of standard steels of comparable strength
• Excellent weldability
• Amount of pre-heating either reduced or completely eliminated
• Clean surface resulting from fine and homogeneous secondary scale

Broad spectrum of steel grades and dimensions

High-strength and ultra-high-strength alform® steels provide the following advantages:

• Higher lifting and load capacity
• Optimized workability
• Higher wear resistance
• Reduced costs
• Improved environmental compatibility
