Steel Division
Cold-rolled steel strip made by voestalpine covers a wide range of materials combined with various surface finishes. In meeting specific requirements, the portfolio ranges from ultra-soft forming grades with the best surface properties for exposed panels to highest-strength grades for lightweight design. The high strength of these cold-rolled grades can even nearly reach that of the hot-forming steels. The homogeneity of the mechanical-technological properties coupled with the respective surface design also ensures optimum processability in the designated area of application.
The comprehensive steel grade program makes cold-rolled steel strip a genuine all-rounder. These materials are used in applications ranging from simple sections to complex deep-drawn parts. Cold-rolled steel strip is used in the household appliance industry in washing machines, dishwashers, tumble dryers, refrigerators, ranges and hot water tanks. Cold-rolled steels are also used in the radiator industry, the automotive industry (car body parts with low corrosion stress), the packaging industry and the tube and section industry.
Development continues unabated in this area, and high-performance cold-rolled steels made by voestalpine have become an alternative to OC annealed steels used in numerous applications in the household appliance and sanitation industries.
