High-strength steels for the defence industry
We supply alloy quenched and tempered and case-hardening steels, as well as steel castings, for shafts, pins, gears and housings that need high strength and toughness.
Which part, which material?
In defence applications, parts must work reliably under sudden impact, high stress and wide temperature ranges. That is why nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy steels are the most common choice; the material and documentation requirements are set out in the specification for each project.
