Green steel for sustainable mobility
thyssenkrupp Steel and Volkswagen Group sign memorandum of understanding to supply CO2-reduced steel
thyssenkrupp's hot-rolled portfolio extends from mild and structural steels to thermomechanically rolled high-strength perform® grades for cold forming. Hot-rolled steel is available pickled and unpickled in a variety of dimensions. The wide range includes our premium product scalur®, pickled hot-rolled steel with very close thickness tolerances, sour gas-resistant pipeline steel, manganese-boron steels for hot forming, and dual phase steels for the manufacture of complex high-strength structural elements.
thyssenkrupp offers a broad spectrum of cold-rolled sheet and coated products. Our coatings range from hot-dip galvanized and galvannealed to our ZM Ecoprotect® coating and our aluminum-based aluminum-silicon and galfan® products. In addition we offer electrogalvanized sheet and our special texture primetex®, the perfect basis for an outstanding paint finish.
thyssenkrupp is a global market leader in high-tech electrical steel, a product used throughout the electricity value chain from generation to transmission, distribution and consumption. Our product range includes both semi-finished and fully finished grades. Innovative PowerCore® electrical steels offer extremely high efficiency. The grain-oriented version, produced by a sophisticated process to create its special grain structure, is used in transformers, while non-oriented electrical steel is employed in electric motors, appliances and generators.
thyssenkrupp is a leading manufacturer of organic-coated sheet. Attractive and functional coatings from our pladur® and Reflections® ranges open up great creative scope for the design of multistory and industrial buildings, facades and roofing. pladur® MetalLook finishes with anti-fingerprint properties are the preferred choice for the domestic appliance sector. Our coil-coated products offer premium quality, good formability and optimum corrosion protection.
Consisting of two or three layers produced by hot roll cladding, our composite materials offer properties which cannot be achieved with a conventional monolithic steel material. The vibration-damping composite bondal® comprises a viscoelastic polymer sandwiched between two steel face sheets for excellent structure-borne and air-borne sound insulation.
As a world leading manufacturer of packaging steel, thyssenkrupp produces tin-coated, chromium-coated and uncoated blackplate in thicknesses of 0.100 to 0.499 mm in its Rasselstein product range. Depending on customer requirements, the product rasselstein Thinplate®, an even thinner high-end material but with the same properties, can additionally be painted or film-laminated. Our premium tinplate is used for example for the packaging of food, beverages, and chemical/technical products. Increasingly the material is also being employed in the construction, automobile and electronics sectors.
Manufactured to very close thickness tolerances, precision steel strip from thyssenkrupp achieves properties similar to cold-rolled steel. In addition it offers excellent surface quality, extremely uniform material properties, tailored microstructures, outstanding forming properties even in high-strength grades, and batch sizes matched to customer needs. This means our precision steel strip is perfect for direct processing as well as for further processing in the cold rolling mill.
The valuable byproducts manufactured in the large number of plants and production facilities – from the blast furnace to the pickling line – are an established part of the product range of the steel business of thyssenkrupp. Here, their use in various areas of the daily life is an important contribution to conserving resources.
Our range in byproducts includes high-quality components for the cement production and the construction of roads, tracks and hydraulic engineering, converter limes for the production of fertilizers, iron oxide as raw material for the iron industry, and further products for a great number of other applications.
Our premium cut-to-length sheet products XAR®, perform® and TBL stand for our goal to provide holistic customer service: From materials consulting and innovation down to application and process optimization.
bluemint® Steel is thyssenkrupp's brand for CO2-reduced steel that in the long term will be produced from the hydrogen-powered direct reduction plant. Customers can already significantly reduce their carbon footprint with the bluemint® pure and bluemint® recycled brands. The CO2 savings here are achieved by using alternative charge materials in the blast furnace. With bluemint® Steel, we are already offering our customers all the proven steel grades with reduced CO2 intensity – without compromising quality.
