    In addition to a wide thickness range, Docol hot rolled AHSS makes it possible to drastically increase the tensile strength in a component, while reducing the amount of material needed to produce it. This can result in a significant reduction in weight, while achieving the same performance and a lower cost, thanks to less material needed overall

    We compared Toolox 44 with conventional tool steel alloyed with chromium, molybdenum and vanadium. Toolox produced better results on all points
    Mayank Kumar
    In truth tool vibration is one of the main limiting factors behind increased productivity. The build and stability of today’s machines allow for significantly higher rates. Compared with tools made of conventional materials it’s possible to increase the removal rate significantly by changing to Toolox 44.

    Galfan from SSAB – best in real-life corrosion test spanning over many years

    A real-life corrosion test was recently conducted, in which SSAB’s Galfan clearly outshone competing coating materials in terms of its ability to resist corrosion. This becomes clearly evident in structures that have formed shapes. The test result showed that Galfan is up to 3.8 times more resistant to corrosion compared to other tested zinc based coatings.“ According to our experience reality offers a better measure than laboratory tests to determine how metal-coated materials resist corrosion In the test – which covers a period of 5and 8 years – we were able confirm that Galfan was
