Guidelines for pressure vessel steel grades: What you need to know
Pressure vessel steel grades are special steel grades that are designed for the manufacture of containers that must withstand high pressure and temperature loads and must not show any cracks or other damage.
CTOD test: Crack resistance of steel in the endurance test
The CTOD test is an important test standard for steel. It simulates the formation of cracks and helps to determine the material’s crack resistance. Read here how the test works and what advantages it offers.
The time has finally come: Creusabro®6400 is here!
The first delivery of the wear-resistant Creusabro® 6400 has arrived! Our wear expert Björn Fischer has personally inspected the delivery and is delighted!
Promoting energy efficiency: UnionStahl trainees win bronze as Lower Rhine Energy Scouts
Our trainees Paulina, Fritz and Moritz successfully took part in this year’s “EnergieScouts Niederrhein” project organized by the Lower Rhine Chamber of Industry and Commerce and secured the coveted 3rd place!
Improved efficiency thanks to new crane magnets
We continue to optimize our production processes: In Hall 1, where we store heavy plates from 30 mm thickness, we now use powerful crane magnets with a penetration depth of 90 mm.
The DWT test: proof of fracture mechanics for materials
The DWT test, also known as the Pellini or drop weight test, determines the Nil Ductility Transition Temperature (NDT) and is used to assess the fracture resistance of ferritic steels.
Sour gas-resistant steel grades – how to defy the rust monster
For use in pipelines and pressure vessels that come into contact with sour gas, steel grades with high purity, homogeneous microstructure and low sulphur content are essential in order to prevent hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC).
The modulus of elasticity
Steel is an indispensable material in many industries. Its high strength and rigidity make it ideal for the construction of bridges, machines and systems. But how can you calculate how resilient steel is? This is where the modulus of elasticity comes into play.
Knocking on sheet metal – your guide to strip and heavy plate
The volume of orders in the steel industry is subject to numerous external influences that often call for complete solutions from a single source. Thanks to forward-looking planning and flexible options, UnionStahl is also ideally prepared to meet special requirements. Learn more
