Innovation&Cooperation planning

With our individually tailored wire solutions we can meet your demands and your customers’ requirements. As well as digital product simulations, our unique R&D set up means we can offer the option of individual product development with substantially reduced development times, considering material and process development from steel to the drawn wire, our R&D team guarantees optimised product properties for the subsequent processing and use of your products. That complete package guarantees you Performance in Innovation.

To meet present and future market demands, we have a trained and motivated team of developers, researchers and product managers at the disposal of our customers, who understand the requirements you place on our products and can infer the relevant product features ensuring an optimised process chain that is supported by the very latest analysis, simulation and process technology. In that way we can ensure that your demands are implemented.

Cooperative partnerships with universities and research establishments ensure access to current knowledge and the scope to design products from the atomic level upwards right through to forming processes and application properties

Wire Development

 The development processes for our high-quality wire include the tuning of material and surface properties. We also continually improve not only wire forming in our rolling mill and drawing shops but also at our customers, who subsequently process the wire into complex products.

Communication with customers

Another focal point of our development work is finding the right balance between processing and application properties according to customer requirements, in avoid of increasing customer’s cost  ,even no one can make it.

Key Research Areas:

• Surface finishes
• Heat treatments, phase transitions and metallographic microstructures
• Coatings, zinc, lubricants
• Wire cleaning, descaling, pickling
• Wire straightening, internal stresses
• Optimizing steel compositions and controlling processes to attain specific properties
• Developing new methods of inline crack detection on the wire
