Engineering Applications

High performance steel for engineering solutions improve performance with high performance steel - hps. When conventional engineering materials are unable to supply the required performance, tool steel is the answer. if you are designing components subject to heavy loads, heavy wear, corrosion or high temperatures, look to high performance steel. hps-materials offer a combination of superior properties that will achieve a high performance solution. choosing the right material is an important decision to make. for the component user, it means the difference between success and failure. for the component manufacturer, it is a matter of overall economy, operational stability and a competitive edge. assab offers hps-materials, knowledge and experience to help you make the right decisions. Backed by extensive research and development facilities, our experts will guide you in the selection, heat treatment, machining and welding of hps-materials. materials to use when top performance is needed high performance steel (hps) gives far better results than conventional engineering materials. Anders "charley" karling is four-time european champion in super twin dragbike-racing. His top speed is nearly 356 km/h! Hps-products from assab make up the vital components of his 700 horsepower drag machine. Engine block, crankshaft, connecting rods, piston pins, cylinder heads, cylinders and engine brackets are some of the major parts produced from uddeholm products. Performance speaks for itself: 0 100 km/hour in less than one second! being on the leading edge of racing means being on the leading edge of materials used in racing. Hps-materials combine high strength, toughness and wear resistance for lower weight, simpler design and greater precision. hps was previously chosen for extra high-spec equipment but is now proving to be the best option for applications that traditionally have used lower quality engineering steels.
