voestalpine tool steels are ideal for many clamping and retention applications due to their exceptional toughness and cracking resistance. These properties ensure that clamping components, such as rock bolts and plates can withstand the high stress conditions typical in mining many operations, reducing fatigue and increasing maintenance intervals.
Our tool steels have a proven track record in the mining industry and are suitable for many clamping applications including:
This is only a small selection of the applications where voestalpine material grades can be a game changer for your clamping applications. If you have an idea for a project or there an existing problem needing a solution, contact you local voestalpine High Performance Metals technical team using the form below.
The excellent combination of toughness and wear resistance offered by tool steels makes them an ideal replacement for traditional high tensile or case hardened materials in a range of applications where fatigue and creep are major issues.
The table below shows a selection of the wear resistant grades available.
