Materials

Corrosion-resistant stainless steels, duplex steels, nickel-based alloys and tempering steels. Defense application context for every material class. Material diversity as standard, not as exception.

Material-to-Application

Defense material matrix

The material matrix maps the most important material classes to typical defense applications. Materials outside this overview are often available on request.

Further materials on request. Materials outside this list are evaluated individually for processability and feasibility. Material specification per customer requirement possible.
What we don't process

Clear boundaries

Titanium and aluminum are not processed. Our press park and material process chain are designed for steels, stainless steels, duplex steels and nickel-based alloys — with the corresponding heat treatment and inspection chain.

Documentation

Material certificates and traceability

All materials are delivered with complete documentation. EN 10204 3.1 material certificates are standard, EN 10204 3.2 with independent expert verification on request. Traceability from heat to finished part is systematically ensured — a prerequisite for defense, nuclear and marine supply chains.
