SPECIAL ENGINEERING STEELS WITH UNIQUE STRENGTHS
BUDERUS EDELSTAHL — QUALITY FROM A SINGLE SOURCE: The entire production process, from melting through to pro-duction of the end product, takes place at the Wetzlar site. This also applies for our high-quality special engineering steels. We melt the initial material from high-quality scrap steel in our own steel plant and forge the ingots in the open die forging process on our hydraulic presses with a compression force of up to 100 MN. The heat treatment and quality check also take place directly on-site. All production steps are precisely coor-dinated. This saves time, makes the product handover easier and makes us flexible and reliable. The short communication paths between quality assurance, production planning, pro-duction and sales enable smooth order processing.
The expectations of our customers have the highest priority at every stage. As a competent partner, we are available for all application queries and work with our customers to find suitable solutions for specific requirements. We produce tried-and-tested standard products, as well as individual steels, which we develop according to the specifications of our customers. Small batch sizes are no problem for us. The success of Buderus Edelstahl is based on a high level of flexibility, reliability and service, as well as on a transparent materials management and quality assurance system.

ProductionProducts
IN-HOUSE MELTINGWith a furnace capacity of 100 to, Buderus Edelstahl melts its raw materials in its own electric steel plant. For this, we use high-quality scrap steel from the recycling cycles in Germany and Europe. After tapping, the steel is deoxidized and degassed in the secondary metallurgy process (LF-VD/VOD plant) and either deep desulphurized or set to a controlled sulphur content depending on the requirements. We bottom-cast the special steel in moulds with hot top insulation to ingots weighing between 2.8 and 190 to.
Our open die forging plant is equipped with high-performance presses with forces of 20 MN, 55 MN and 80/ 100 MN. Here, we forge ingots up to an operating weight of 190 to. The subsequent heat treatment takes place in shuttle kilns or continuous kilns.
Our deep hole drilling bench can achieve holes up to 13 m deep. On the lathes, we process weights of up to 120 to, diameters up to 2,100 mm and lengths of up to 17 m. Our wide range of saws enable us to cut through bars up to a diameter range of 2,000 x 2,000 mm.
SHORT LEAD TIMESSpecial engineering steel from Buderus Edelstahl has a wide range of uses in gear manufacturing and rolling bearing pro-duction, mining, in the oil and gas industry, in the energy sector, as well as in other general areas of mechanical engineering. Our customers value the reliability of our case hardening and tempered steels in particular — especially in difficult conditions such as those encountered in the field of large gear unit pro-duction. With the case hardening steel 18CrNiMo7-6, for example, we offer a high-purity steel, which is the ideal choice for gear wheels and gear parts. Our nickel alloy steels with a nickel content of up to three percent can withstand the highest strains in drill heads and pump housings.
Our concept for large gear unit production is based on forging complete bars instead of single forgings. This not only optimizes production costs, but also increases quality at the same time.
We deliver bars in standard production lengths or fixed lengths, as well as disks sawn off the bar with a diameter of up to 1,550 mm. We can also fulfill customer requests at short notice: We stock the most common special engineering steel grades and dimensions in our store — in either raw forged, rough turned and/or rough turned and pre-drilled state.
The benefits of our special engineering steel:
excellent micro- and macroscopic degree of purity low level of trace elements low segregation narrow tolerance limits

CERTIFIED TESTINGOur own melting plant, state-of-the-art ladle metallurgy, casting of ingots and process-controlled production steps guarantee the high quality standard of the special engineering steel from Buderus Edelstahl. And we also monitor the quality of the special engineering steel meticulously. Our quality assurance system specifies all quality-relevant process steps and inspection points in detail. Each production step is checked precisely and docu-mented clearly — from the melting of the steel through to the forming processes and delivery. The integrated management system at Buderus Edelstahl GmbH is certified in accordance with ISO 9001, ISO/ TS 16949 and ISO 14001.
In addition to the traditional material tests, such as tensile tests, hardness tests, structure and purity level tests in accordance with national and international standards, we also check fracture- mechanical parameters (e. g. KIC), carry out impact tests according to Brugger and conduct tests with the scanning electron microscope and EDX/WDX analyses in our testing laboratory. The testing laboratory is certified by “Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH (DAkkS)” in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.
The sawn plates of the gear steel 18CrNiMo7-6 achieve the highest purity levels thanks to our quasi-isotropic material properties and comply with the DNV High Grade quality. This has been certified by “Det Norske Veritas”. The outstanding quality of this steel has also been certified by “Germanischer Lloyd”.
