Steel Division
voestalpine is among the leading quality producers of high-purity iron oxide in Europe and places special emphasis on the further development of the product mix. Iron oxides from voestalpine form the foundation for high-quality soft and hard-magnetic ferritic materials, and our internationally active customers are among the best.
Iron oxide
Our iron oxide is used in applications in the soft ferrite industry.
Soft ferrites are used in electronics and electrical applications such as power high-frequency transmitters, transformers, throttles, signal transmitters, broadband transmission, in filter technology and for the elimination of line-conducted interference voltages.
Our iron oxide also plays an important role in the production of hard ferrites. Hard ferrites are used in permanent magnets for loud speakers, headsets, electrical engines and magnets for servo-motors and sensors.
Further iron oxide applications are in the pigment industry, for example in the coloration of construction elements, casting industry and as catalysts in the production of styrene.
