Tailor-made properties and cost efficiency
Properties such as good resistance to stress corrosion cracking, high thermal conductivity with low thermal expansion and good formability, all coupled with high cost-effectiveness: these are ferritic steels from BGH.
The high surface qualities that can be achieved guarantee the highest hygienic standards for applications in the food and beverage industry, gastronomy, medical technology and household appliances. But ferritic steels are also used for fasteners, in plant and mechanical engineering or in exhaust systems.
