NIROSTAR - high-performance materials

We encounter stainless steels in virtually all areas of daily life, as well as in many high-tech applications. By varying alloy composition and heat treatment, different microstructures can be imparted to the material which determine its properties to a large extent. In terms of production volume, austenitic and ferritic stainless steels are the most important. In recent years ferritic-austenitic steels (duplex steels) have gained in significance. Development work at Krupp Thyssen Nirosta (KTN) concentrates primarily on the improvement and uniformity of product properties, the increased cost-efficiency of production processes and, in close collaboration with customers, the development of applications-oriented systems solutions.
