BÖHLER A903 (UNS S32205) is the most common stainless ferritic-austenitic Cr-Ni-Mo steel with nitrogen addition. In addition to good strength properties, this steel offers high corrosion resistance, especially against stress corrosion cracking in chloride-containing solutions, and is resistant to intergranular corrosion up to 300°C. The alloy should not be used at temperatures above 300°C due to embrittlement. Heat treatment after welding is not necessary. Required surface finish: pickled, scale-free heat treated or machined. Commonly used in the oil and gas industry, hydroelectric power, pressure vessels, pulp and paper industry, components and chemical tanks, such as parts for separators and heat exchangers and parts in the paper industry, oil and gas extraction , compressors, seawater desalination.

Bohler A913 (UNS S32750) is the most widely used super duplex grade on the market and is a 25%Cr ferritic-austenitic stainless steel with PREN min 41. The steel offers highest corrosion resistance and good strength properties and is especially suitable for use in aggressive environments containing chlorides. Good weldability, heat treatment after welding is not required. Excellent resistance to general corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, vibration cracking, pitting and crevice corrosion as well as erosion corrosion. Max. operating temperature for long-term use: 280°C (short-term exceeding up to 300°C permissible). Required surface finish: pickled or machined. Components exposed to seawater such as heat exchangers, feed or injection pumps, propeller shafts, highly stressed parts in chemical and waste water plants and for oil and gas production (e.g. manifolds), separators, turbine and fan blades, low-pressure compressor components.

BÖHLER K100 is a 12% ledeburitic chromium steel and corresponds to material number 1.2080 (X210Cr12). This commonly used tool steel is highly resistant to abrasive wear. Compared to modern cold work tool steels, BÖHLER K100 has the advantage of simple heat treatment with lower hardening temperatures and single tempering. However, this characteristic tempering behaviour limits the use of advanced coatings.

BÖHLER K107 is a 12% ledeburitic chromium steel and corresponds to material number 1.2436 (X210CrW12). Due to the higher tungsten content, BÖHLER K107 achieves a higher resistance to abrasive wear compared to the conventional tool steel 1.2080. Compared to modern cold work tool steels, BÖHLER K107 has the advantage of simple heat treatment with lower hardening temperatures and single tempering. However, this characteristic tempering behaviour limits the use of modern coatings..

BÖHLER K110 is a 12% ledeburitic chromium steel and corresponds to material number 1.2379 (X153CrMoV12, D2). This tool steel combines the advantages of conventional 12% ledeburitic chromium steels with those of advanced tool steels. In the group of 12% ledeburitic chromium steels, BÖHLER K110 offers the best combination of wear resistance, compressive strength and toughness, for which reason it is used in virtually all cold work applications. Its advantageous tempering behavior with a pronounced secondary hardness maximum also enables the use of advanced coatings. This also makes BÖHLER K110 suitable for complex tools requiring a high degree of dimensional stability and shape stability.

BÖHLER K600 corresponds to the material 1.2767 (45NiCrMo16). With its high nickel content, this material offers a very good combination of through hardenability and toughness. This results in a high resistance to impact and shock loads. BÖHLER K600 is used for a wide range of tools where high toughness is required. The material is used for forming and bending tools, cold shear blades for thick materials and for reinforcement rings. Due to its good polishability, BÖHLER K600 is also used for embossing tools, plastic molds and mold inserts for injection molding.

BÖHLER K700 corresponds to the material 1.3401 (X120Mn12) and belongs to the group of austenitic hard manganese steels. Unlike most tool steels, BÖHLER K700 is not used in the hardened and tempered condition. Due to the forces occurring in service, the resulting work hardening of the surface results in a high resistance to abrasive wear. BÖHLER K700 is weldable. However, the heat input must be kept as low as possible to avoid embrittlement of the material. The material is used in abrasive blasting and mining applications such as crusher jaws, beater bars, grate bars, linings, excavator teeth and chain rollers.

BÖHLERL718 API (UNS N07718) is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant nickel-chromium-iron-molybdenum material with excellent corrosion resistance, especially in H2S and CO2 environments. The alloy is age-hardenable due to the addition of niobium, titanium and aluminium. BÖHLER L718 API is recognised by the oil industry for its simple and cost-effective production in combination with good tensile, fatigue, creep and fracture strength and is used in a wide range of applications in this sector. BÖHLER L718 API has excellent weldability and is resistant to cracking after welding. The material can be used at high temperatures. BÖHLER L718 API is available in the NACE/API 6A CRA versions with a minimum yield strength of 120/140 ksi and also in the high-strength version with 150 ksi. All hardness grades are suitable for sour service and can be used for pressurising and pressure-controlling equipment in corrosive environments. Typical applications include packers, pumps, connectors and fasteners as well as gate valves, throttle spindles, pipework hangers and fire safe valves, but also a wide range of downhole and completion components, nuclear and surface applications.

BÖHLER M303HIGHHARD corresponds to BÖHLER M303 in the High-Hard product variant. A variation in the heat treatment enables significantly higher wear resistance.
