Consumer Goods

Consumer goods require reliable steels and alloys offering strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and good surface quality. Key quality features include certified materials, controlled processing, consistent properties, and inspection to ensure safety and long product life.

Consumer goods such as household appliances, hand tools, personal accessories, and durable lifestyle products place high demands on materials to ensure functionality, safety, durability, and cost efficiency. Material requirements are driven by mechanical strength, wear resistance, corrosion protection, aesthetic surface quality, and suitability for large‑scale manufacturing. Consistent material performance is essential to ensure long service life and user safety under everyday operating conditions.

Steels and alloys are widely used in consumer goods due to their versatility and reliability. Low‑carbon and low‑alloy steels are applied for structural components, while stainless steels are selected for corrosion resistance, hygiene, and visual appeal. Tool steels and hardened alloy steels are used where wear resistance and robustness are critical. Quality features focus on controlled chemical composition, consistent mechanical properties, and stable processing behavior. Certified material supply, controlled forming and heat treatment processes, and surface finishing control ensure repeatable quality. Dimensional inspection, surface integrity checks, and traceability support compliance with industry standards and ensure reliable, high‑quality consumer products.

    BÖHLER M789 AMPO is a newly developed maraging steel, which combines the mechanical properties of 1.2709 with the corrosion resistance of 17-4PH. This patent bending grade can easily printed without any preheating and achieves a hardness of about 52 HRC with a very easy heat treatment. Furthermore, this material shows an excellent polishability, which makes it the ideal choice for inserts with conformal cooling in plastic injection molding and in any other application where a high hardness and corrosion resistance is of need.
