voestalpine BÖHLER Profile is internationally synonymous with high-quality steel profiles, which not only impress with the best material properties, but also realise enormous savings potential in further processing. The focus on special profiles close to the end shape eliminates a large part of the waste that would arise from milling and machining of bar steels. This sustainable production approach has a positive impact on the material properties, protects the environment and protects the customer’s budget.
Thanks to its extensive manufacturing depth and an R&D team, which plays a pioneering role internationally in the field of special profiles, voestalpine BÖHLER Profil is able to enter into development partnerships with international customers from a wide variety of industries. These partnerships often result in best practice solutions that define the standard of tomorrow in the market.
At voestalpine BÖHLER Profil, sustainability in the areas of environmental protection, occupational safety and energy efficiency is very important. For many years we have been carrying out targeted activities to meet this requirement.
Depending on the dimensions of the profiles, they are produced on different systems using specially developed processes. While larger cross-sections obtain their profile in the open rolling mill, smaller cross-sections are produced on the computer-controlled continuous rolling line. The material passes through several deformation stages or rollers and through a precisely controlled heating system. Profiles from voestalpine BÖHLER Profil do more than meet the highest demands on deformation and at the same time have the lowest manufacturing tolerances.
voestalpine BÖHLER Profil offers high-performance materials in top quality and responds to the individual needs of each individual customer. Countless steel grades are offered, but also nickel-based alloys, which are further processed into intelligent profile solutions.
The configuration variants consisting of materials, melting types, finishes, heat treatments, surfaces and more result in an individual and unique special profile for each customer.
The focus of product development is the consideration of the entire manufacturing process: from the raw material to the finished part of the customer. Only by taking a holistic view of the entire process chain can an optimal finished part be guaranteed.
Thanks to the close co-operation with the sister company voestalpine BÖHLER Edelstahl and other partners, high-quality profiles are produced not only from unalloyed steel, but also from nickel-based and titanium alloys, which meet the exact specifications of customers from a wide range of industries.
