The new Docol Hard steel combines strength and thickness in a way that gives the designer totally new scope for product development. The key to the properties of the new steels is the additional hardening achieved by a special rolling process. Furniture, containers and safety parts are some application areas.
The steel is currently produced in three product groups with different thicknesses. The thickest product group is Docol Hard 850Y-1000Y, with thicknesses between 1.5 and 4.0 millimetres. Lightweight containers, load-bearing beams, tubes and profiles for the building industry, and various types of mechanisms such as seatbelt holders are examples of applications for which these steels are well suited. Two thinner product ranges are also available for containers, white goods and other products.
