Industrial components require BÖHLER steels with high strength, durability, and wear resistance. Key quality features include ultra-clean materials, full traceability, controlled heat treatment, and rigorous testing for reliable performance.
Other industrial components across diverse sectors are subject to a wide range of mechanical, thermal, and environmental stresses, requiring materials with versatile and reliable performance characteristics. Applications such as housings, connectors, structural elements, and precision parts must withstand dynamic loading, wear, and in many cases corrosive environments, while maintaining dimensional stability and consistent functionality. Material requirements therefore focus on high strength, fatigue resistance, toughness, wear resistance, and, where necessary, corrosion and temperature resistance. In addition, good machinability and process stability are essential for efficient manufacturing and cost-effective production.
BÖHLER high-performance steels and alloys are specifically engineered to meet these diverse industrial demands. Advanced alloyed steels, stainless steels, tool steels, and specially tailored grades provide optimized combinations of mechanical strength, durability, and environmental resistance. Produced using advanced melting and refining technologies, BÖHLER materials ensure superior cleanliness, low inclusion content, and homogeneous microstructures, enabling reliable and repeatable performance across applications. Key quality features include strict control of chemical composition, certified traceability, and precisely controlled heat treatment processes. Comprehensive testing, including mechanical verification, wear assessment, and non-destructive inspection, ensures consistent quality. BÖHLER materials enable robust, efficient, and long-lasting solutions for a broad spectrum of industrial components.
BÖHLER K353 belongs to the group of conventionally produced 8% chromium steels. It is used in situations where chipper steels like 1.2360 are insufficient in terms of wear resistance and tool steels like 1.2379 (D2) do not have sufficient toughness. BÖHLER K353 is especially suitable for industrial knives for the woodworking industry. It is also used for stamping and cutting tools.
