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.

BÖHLER N700 is a martensitic, corrosion-resistant, precipitation-hardenable chromium-nickel-copper steel with high strength and toughness. Further increases in strength can be achieved by cold forming and subsequent precipitation hardening. These products are typically used for parts that require higher corrosion resistance than the usual 13% or 17% chromium steels and high strength. Various remelting processes are used to improve steel purity and homogeneity. (ESR, PESR, VAR). Certain processing methods and operating conditions can make these products susceptible to stress corrosion cracking. For applications such as bolting where stress corrosion cracking is possible, the product should be aged for at least 4 hours at the highest temperature compatible with the strength requirements, but in no case lower than 552 °C. Typical engineering applications include surgical and dental instruments as well as aerospace components, reactor construction, highly stressed pump parts, springs and ship shafts.

BÖHLER P802SA is an iron-36% nickel alloy with low thermal expansion for the manufacture of moulds for aircraft construction and for the electronics industry, for measuring instruments (e.g. rulers, scales), temperature measuring instruments and temperature-dependent controls, thermostats, thermobimetals whose individual layers should have the greatest possible difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion, compensation elements, aperture masks for picture tubes, glass-metal transitions in which the expansion of the alloy must correspond to that of glass and ceramic materials, membrane tanks, chip base plates, laser housings, waveguides and seismographic measuring instruments. The minimum coefficient of thermal expansion of BÖHLER P802SA is in the range of 0 to 40°C. Above the break point at about 200°C, the coefficient of expansion increases sharply and reaches the values usual for austenitic materials at temperatures above 300°C. Good low-temperature properties
