Customers benefit from the long-standing experience of Buderus Edelstahl and the combined capabilities within GMH Gruppe – from steelmaking and forming to heat treatment and machining.
Application
Mechanical Engineering
Materials for components that matter
Reliable materials for highly loaded components Components in mechanical and plant engineering must perform reliably under high mechanical and dynamic loads. Our engineering steels combine high strength with toughness and consistent material properties – including demanding component geometries and larger cross-sections.
This makes them a reliable material choice for highly loaded components such as shafts, drive components and other forged parts.
Gear Manufacturing
High-performance steels for reliable drive systems
Gear components transmit high loads and are expected to perform reliably over long service periods. This places demanding requirements on the material.
Buderus Edelstahl provides engineering steels for demanding gear applications, combining defined material properties, reliable heat treatment and high material quality to support durable, high-performance components.
Other Applications
Engineering steel for special requirements
Not every application fits a standard category. For components exposed to high mechanical, cyclic or pressure loads, Buderus Edelstahl provides material solutions designed for demanding operating conditions.
Our engineering steels are used wherever strength, toughness, fatigue performance and reliable properties across larger component sections are essential.
