Steel
thyssenkrupp Steel meets the increasing demands for ever more efficient lightweighting and safety standards, researches and develops new high-performance steels and sets standards in surface technologies.
A wide range of sectors are served internationally, including the auto, plant and mechanical engineering, special vehicle construction, appliance and packaging as well as energy and construction industries.
With the planned construction of the direct reduction plant, which will be operated with renewable hydrogen and have a capacity of 2.5 million tons of directly reduced iron, thyssenkrupp Steel is continuing the transformation towards climate-neutral steel production. The company has had its climate targets confirmed on the basis of the scientifically sound guidelines of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Steel Europe is one of the first steelmakers to have its climate targets reviewed on a scientific basis and found to be in line with the 1.5 degree target of the Paris Agreement – both in terms of the short-term target for 2032 and the net-zero target for 2045, according to SBTi.
The Duisburg plant is the heart of the company. Its location on the Rhine has been invaluable ever since the site was founded in 1891: Downstream processing operations are performed in Bochum, Dortmund, and the Siegerland area on state-of-the-art rolling and coating lines. Electrical Steel in Gelsenkirchen stands for high-quality grain-oriented electrical steel, while thyssenkrupp Rasselstein in Andernach ranks among the world market leaders in packaging steel.
Steel not only operates in Germany but is also represented on the Chinese market through a joint venture producing premium-quality hot-dip coated steel for the auto industry.
With bluemint® Steel we are introducing our first certified steels with reduced CO2 intensity. The CO2-reduced products are manufactured at the Duisburg site and give customers the certainty of using high-quality steel with an improved eco-balance.
With bondal®, thyssenkrupp's steel specialists combine different materials in a single product. The vibration-damping composite bondal® comprises a viscoelastic polymer sandwiched between two steel face sheets for excellent structure-borne and air-borne sound insulation.
Our premium cut-to-length sheet products perdur®, perform® and TBL® stand for our goal to provide holistic customer service: From materials consulting and innovation down to application and process optimization.
As an experienced materials technology partner, thyssenkrupp has always been a synonym for innovative, custom solutions – especially where cut-to-length sheet products are concerned. No matter how diverse, customer requirements are rapidly implemented down to a T. Our long-standing customer relationships play an important role in this regard.
We produce our cut-to-length sheets on our state-of-the-art cut-to-length line in Antwerp, right in the heart of Europe and ship them from there all over the world.
The Steel division of thyssenkrupp is a global market leader in high-tech electrical steel, which is used throughout the entire value chain: from the generation, transmission and distribution to the consumption of electrical energy. The innovative powercore® electrical steel is a material for the highest levels of efficiency. powercore® Top Grades, the grain-oriented version, which is given its special grain structure through a complex manufacturing process, is used in transformers. powercore® Traction, on the other hand, as non-oriented electrical steel, is used in highly efficient and fast-rotating automotive traction motors.
Our hot strip portfolio extends from mild steels and structural steels to higher-strength micro-alloyed steels perform® for cold forming. Hot-rolled steel is available pickled and unpickled in a variety of dimensions. The wide range includes among others our high-strength hot-rolled multi-phase steels for chassis-parts, pipeline steel, or hardenable manganese-boron steels.
thyssenkrupp is a leading manufacturer of organic-coated sheet. Attractive and functional coatings from our pladur® ranges open up great creative scope for the design of multistory and industrial buildings, facades and roofing. Our coil-coated products offer premium quality, good formability and optimum corrosion protection.
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 blackplate 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.
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 special finishes such as primetex®, the perfect basis for an outstanding paint finish.
