Efficiency as a hobbyhorse

There is hardly an industry that is growing faster and has greater demands on efficiency than the electrical industry. In this highly competitive industry, solutions are constantly being created at the highest level. In an effort to remain one step ahead, voestalpine has made it its business to permanently monitor research results and to collaborate with international customers in developing tailor-made solutions that can be readied for serial production. The focus is not exclusively on the material itself. voestalpine thinks ahead and has comprehensive expertise in the area of insulating varnish systems. First and foremost, Backlack technology, an innovative joining process for electrical steel strip packages, has become indispensable for demanding customers.

Green power as motivation

Are you ready for a green future? voestalpine is optimizing its ecological footprint along the entire lifecycle. From the extraction of raw materials, steel production and further processing to the use and reuse of the material. 

Its use in the field of e-mobility or alternative energy generation in wind or hydroelectric power plants makes isovac® an irreplaceable material for customers who demand 100% performance and at the same time want to set the course for a green future.

Eddy current testing system successfully implemented in commercial projects

We at voestalpine demonstrate the absence of local hard zones (LHZ) by eddy current method and hold the biggest track record of LSAW material in operation. Supported by industry’s supreme accuracy and highly automated testing equipment we provide our partners the basis for a cost efficient project execution in severe sour environments (high H2S).

Extreme sour service and corrosion resistance

Roll-bonded clad plates are used for the manufacturing of clad linepipes. In many cases the mixture of oil, gas and a wide range of chemical elements in riserpipes or linepipes used for the transport of oil and gas formes a highly corrosive environment. Only the highest-quality materials are capable of withstanding this aggressive medium. Our roll-bonded clad linepipe plates with corrosion-resistant cladding meet these highest corrosion requirements.

Exploring new frontiers

What would our daily life be like without machines? Very different, that's for sure. The invention of effective new tools has always been a way of overcoming our limitations, and we are still creating innovative materials to push the limits even further. At voestalpine, we have proven this again and again with new and optimized products. Expertise from a wide range of highly innovative industries is bundled and engineered into materials and solutions for machinery, equipment and vehicles. The solutions are not only convincing in the lab, and they open new possibilities by increasing efficiency in design, production and use.

High-strength plates

As structures and machines become larger, the stresses in the components increase. High-strength steels with minimum yield strengths of 700 MPa or even higher up to 1100 MPa are capable of supporting these higher stresses and simultaneously lead to a decrease in the weight of structural members.

Thermomechanically rolled high-strength fine-grained steels combine excellent toughness with a very low carbon content and the low carbon equivalent and for an optimized weldability.

We supply higher strength & lighter weight

alform® heavy plates find their applications wherever high workability and weldability coupled with high strength and weight savings are in demand. Utilization of the higher yield strength of high-strength fine-grained steels as opposed to conventional structural steels results in lower cross-sections. This leads on the one hand to cost savings in lower component weights as well as reduced expenditures for transports, assembly, foundations, component manufacturing, especially in welding as a result of minimized seam cross-sections.
