High Performance Steel
Improved profitability with Uddeholm High Performance Steel
Uddeholm High Performance Steel is a new concept in the world of steel, with new areas of application for Uddeholm's first class steels.
By using Uddeholm steel instead of engineering steel in parts subjected to large stresses and strains, you can benefit from the superior properties of tool steel. Thanks to their improved strength and durability the steel grades have a longer life span, resulting in better overall economy.
Maintenance costs industry large sums of money each year. A high proportion of these costs can be avoided by selecting a steel with better material properties.
