PRECISELY THE BEST
PRECISELY THE BEST: Count on thickness precision within the narrowest tolerances
Guaranteed narrowest thickness tolerances down to one sixth of the standard!
At voestalpine, we have set a new standard in the thickness tolerance of hot-rolled steel strip. State-of-the-art manufacturing lines and innovative measuring and control equipment guarantee hot-rolled steel strip of the highest quality and within the narrowest thickness tolerances. We guarantee highest precision in three classes across the entire width and length of the strip.
Count on precise advantages
- Guaranteed thickness tolerance values across the entire with and length of the strip
- Stable processes and efficiency during production
- Reproducible components with economical production
High-class steel strength
The tolerance values indicated in thickness tolerance classes apply to all hot-rolled steels of voestalpine, regardless of strip width and steel strength class (mild steels rated separately). The reference values for all voestalpine tolerances are those specified in EN 10051:2010. The thickness tolerance guarantees apply to 100% of the strip surface.
ULTIMATE Class
- Up to 1/6 of the standard tolerance
- For nominal pickled strip thicknesses ranging between 2.5 and 6.0 mm
ADVANCED Class
- Up to 1/4 of the standard tolerance
- For nominal strip thicknesses ranging between 2.0 and 20.0 mm
BASIC Class
- 50% of the EN 10051 standard tolerance
- For nominal strip thicknesses ranging between 2.0 and 20.0 mm
