Successful light-weight design requires the utilization of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels. The innovative alform® and alform® x-treme steel grades lead to substantial weight reduction and provide exceptional advantages in processing. The world's first custom-matched system of alform® steels and alform® welding consumables makes it possible to exploit material potentials in a completely new dimension. durostat® steels are characterized by their especially high resistance to wear. They are highly suited to applications with high stress levels and contribute significantly to prolonged product service life.
alform®
High-strength and ultra-high-strength steels by voestalpine. Successful light-weight design requires the utilization of high-strength and ultra-high-strength steels. The innovative thermomechanically (TM) rolled steel grades alform® and alform® x-treme made by voestalpine lead to comprehensive weight reduction and provide exceptional advantages in processing. High-strength and ultra-high-strength alform® steels are available as hot-rolled strip, cut-to-length sheets made from hot-rolled steel strip and heavy plate.
alform® welding system
More than merely perfect weld joints—system solution in a new dimension The alform® welding system is the world’s first custom-matched system of steels and consumables for high-strength and ultra-high-strength welded structures. This opens up an entirely new dimension of our alform® steels with respect to material expertise.
The alform® welding consumables made by voestalpine Böhler Welding meet the highest requirements, guarantee process reliability and set the standards with respect to quality and precision.
The new welding calculator app of voestalpine
Welding is complex. Complicated structures require not only the necessary welding technology, a great deal of sensitivity and a deep understanding of the material, but also extensive calculations. Until now, these calculations have been complex and time-consuming.

durostat®
Highest wear resistance and hardness for the highest stresses.
Our durostat® steels are characterized by their essentially higher resistance to wear than conventional steels. They are optimally suited to applications with high mechanical stress and high levels of abrasion. Our durostat® steels also guarantee excellent toughness at low application temperatures
altrix®
altrix® multilayer roll-bonded clad plates manufactured by means of the in-house-developed cladding-by-rolling method as two-ply or three-ply plates. The base material features high degrees of toughness and good weldability. The coating material features highest strength and wear resistance in hardened condition.
Multi-layer altrix® plates are typically used in applications such as suction dredger tubes, ridge forming plates, wear plates on roll housings and in mold engineering, paddles in log washers, slides, chutes and transfer plates in the sand, gravel and concrete industry.
toughcore®
toughcore® defines the new delivery condition of thermomechanically rolled heavy plates with a unique combination of thickness, strength and excellent toughness with excellent weldability. Heavy plates supplied as toughcore® comply with all relevant standards in the linepipe, offshore, energy storage and transport industries as well as in the construction and machinery industries. The designation of steel grades remains in accordance with the respective standard and the identification of toughcore® heavy plates is made as an appendix to the delivery condition.
