We offer a complete service spectrum ranging

from production and processing to distribution.

Distinguished by their purity and homogeneity,

the high-quality tool steels we produce are

manufactured in our most modern plants

located in Witten, Siegen, Krefeld and Hagen.

The150 years of experience in steel production

and our lead in continuous casting technology

has placed us in a highly advantageous position.

As an international distribution company, we

source steel from our own production units

or on the best possible terms globally through

external suppliers. Our longstanding cooperation

with renowned steel producers ensures constant

quality standards.

At SCHMOLZ + BICKENBACH, these

manufacturers – as well as the steels they

produce – are subject to continuous controls

in order to guarantee the highest standards are

met on an ongoing basis. We take this to the

point that we certify our producers together

with you.

In this manner every single one of our highgrade

and engineering steels fulfils the most

It is not only our clients’ diverse requirements that

have contributed to our company becoming one

of the world’s largest producers, processors and

distributors of long products made from specialty

steel, but also our longstanding tradition spanning

over 150 years.

Today we are in a position to supply nearly the entire range of tool

steels obtainable in the most diverse qualities and sizes and, with

more than 70,000 items in stock, short term delivery is a priority.

Our extensive product portfolio is supplemented by a comprehensive

service program. This includes advisory services, wide-range

processing and logistic solutions which offer maximum flexibility

from start to finish.

To respond to your requirements even more efficiently and to let you

benefit increasingly from our know-how of local and international

markets, we are constantly expanding our distribution network. As

a result, we are located in all the significant worldwide markets to

service your needs.

Customized quality-tested tool steel solutions

stringent quality demands made in the fields of

mechanical engineering and by the automotive

industry.

Our finely tuned range of services offers you

the advantage of always receiving quality-

tested steel products from a single source –

worldwide.

Through our extensive distribution network,

we ensure that any business can be supplied

with the suitable steel at whatever location.

This even applies to small lot production.

Extensive processing is a further service we

offer. This spans from simple saw-cuts to

machining very close tolerances. When it

comes to fixed lengths and end machining,

we make it our business to supply you with

virtually everything which is technically feasible.

Whether a country’s specific steel standards

or customized special materials for crucial

components are concerned, you can be

assured that SCHMOLZ + BICKENBACH is

the competent business partner for every steel

solution – and this includes supplying you with

your ready-to-install workpiece.

Electroslag

remelting furnace

(ESR furnace)

With tool steels having to satisfy especially

high levels of toughness, homogeneity

and purity standards, DEUTSCHE

EDELSTAHLWERKE has five electroslag

remelting furnaces (ESRs) and one vacuum-

arc remelting furnace (VAR) at their disposal.

The decision as to which process and furnace

to use is predetermined by the desired quality

the remelted steel should have. Electroslag

remelting (ESR) produces noticeably refined

sulfidic purity in comparison to unremelted

steel. To improve oxidic purity, vacuum-arc

remelting (VAR) is employed.

A bonus for our clients

Through the use of a special precision-

hardening process developed by us, we

are in the position to reduce the deformation

of small components such as guide strips

to a minimum.

The purity and homogeneity of our hot-work

tool steels stems from producing them in our

modern steelworks. We fulfil our clients' pre-

defined demands by means of precision

alloying and using process specifications for

melting, shaping and heat treatment.

The tool steels produced by DEUTSCHE

EDELSTAHLWERKE are melted in 130-ton

electric arc furnaces. A subsequent analytical

fine-tuning is carried out in a ladle furnace,

followed by vacuum degassing of the steel

just before casting.

In order to cast the metallurgically treated

molten metal, two processes can be applied

depending on the required size of the final

product. Usually a bow-type and optimized

vertical continuous casting method is used,

but for large forging sizes, ingot casting is

employed.

The integration of the previous Thyssen

hardening shops into the hardening sector of

DEUTSCHE EDELSTAHLWERKE group has

enabled us to build on decades of tradition

in all fields of heat treatment. From a practical

point of view, we are now able to manufacture

products using the complete production chain –

starting with steel production, via pre-machining

to refining through to heat treatment. Our one-

stop solution is invaluable for the world's most

important markets and facilitates the fulfilment

of the most discerning tool quality prerequisites.

In our hardening shops across the continents,

we have vacuum-tempering furnaces, inert

gas plants and plasma-nitriding plants for

thermo-chemical treatments at our disposal.

Thanks to computer-controlled process flows,

the reproducibility of a heat treatment is

guaranteed at any time – from the initial

inspection of incoming shipments through to

the final heat-treated product.

THYRODUR®

C 0.50 Si 1.20 Mn 0.35 Cr 7.30 Mo 1.50 V 0.50

THYRODUR® 2360 is a 7 % chromium steel that derives its high wear resistance from a balancedcombination of the alloying elements. The medium V concentration of 0.5 % generates a sufficiently highhardenability combined with high toughness, even at comparatively low operating temperatures below RT.

This grade is especially suitable for use with chipper knives, blade holders, veneer slicing blades, bladeinserts, billet-shear blades and reinforcements. All require a combination of high hardness and toughnessas do large cold extrusion tools of complex geometry.

PLAST 320 is either available at ahardness of 280 – 325 HB or 310 – 355 HB. This grade offers substantial improvements, especially forbuilding larger and complex moulds. Specific modifications of the grade's components as well as additionalsmelting and secondary metallurgy ensure PLAST 320's outstanding properties.



PLAST 320 is highly suitable for large-format plastic injection and extrusion moulds with deep engravingand high demands on core strength, such as with bumpers, tailgates, fenders, spoilers, instrument panelsand TV housings to name a few. At a supplied hardness of 310 – 355 HB, maximum wear resistance isguaranteed.

THYRAPID®

C 1.35 Cr 4.10 Mo 0.80 V 3.80 W 12.00 Co 4.80

High-performance high-speed steel featuring an extremely good cutting edge retention and wear resistancedue to its high vanadium content. A high cobalt content contributes to a high red hardness and temperingresistance.

AISI ~T15

Machining of hard materials which wear cutting edges such as highly quenched and tempered chromium-nickel grades and non-ferrous metals, mother-of-pearl, paper, hard rubber, synthetic resins, marble, slateand the like. Ideally suited for turning and finishing tools, forming tools of all kinds, heavy-duty milling cuttersand automatic lathes.
