Thanks to our high capacities and flexible manufacturing technologies we
can supply most requests at short notice. This is particularly relevant for Thickness
our slitting lines, the engines that drive our steel service.
Sheet steel 0.4 mm – 4.0 mm
Computer-optimised shaft tipping, minimum process tolerances, ultrashort
set-up times and automated production processes, including packaging,
make Stahlo’s slitting lines particularly flexible and help us to provide
made-to-measure slitted coils. We can supply standardand special grades
from widths as small 10 mm. Materials

Blanks

Trapezoids, parallelograms

Stahlo's blank cutting line is one of the largest and most advanced
machines that independent steel service centres have to offer, plus it can
process ultra-high strength steels.
We produce trapezoids and parallelograms with angles between +30°
and -30°.

Curved cuts

We produce curved cuts, including tool handling, if desired.

Contoured blanks

We produce (large) blanks with our 10,000 MPa press that

includes a 4,750 x 2,750 mm tool table.
The technical capability to produce outer skin panels is a further proof

Our site in Gera hosts one of the largest and most advanced blanking
lines in Europe. It combines a 10,000 MPa press with a 4,750 – Thickness
2,750 mm tool table to produce trapezoids, parallelograms, outer skin
panels and standard blanks from 40 ton coils. Sheet steel 0.45 – 3.0 mm
We supply blanks as finished products, so your press capacity is
optimised, and you can start forming straight away. We also
reduce expensive scrap-handling in press plants since blanks and scrap
have been seperated up front.

Values for mechanical properties only apply to hot rolled products in black
or chemically pickled and oiled states. It is irrelevant whether the products
have undergone slightly cold re-rolling.
2)
Unless otherwise agreed at the time of ordering, nitrogen-hardening
elements such as titanium and boron may be added at the discretion
of the manufacturer.
3)
If the product is wide enough, the specimens for tensile testing must be
taken perpendicular to the direction of rolling.

1 MPa = 1N/mm2

a) For products without a clear yield strength, the 0.2 % proof stress values
(Rp0.2) are used as yield strength values. For other products lower yield strength
values apply (ReL). For thicknesses < 0.7 mm and > 0.5 mm, the maximum yield
strength values may be higher by 20 MPa. For thicknesses < 0.5 mm, the
maximum yield strength values may be higher by 40 MPa.
b) For thicknesses < 0.7 mm and > 0.5 mm, the minimum values for elongation at
failure may be lower by 2 units. For thicknesses < 0.5 mm, the minimum values
for elongation at failure may be lower by 4 units.
c) r90 and n90 values apply only to a product thickness of > 0.5 mm.
d) For thicknesses > 2 mm, the r80 value decreases by 0.2.
e) It is recommended to process products made from DC01 steel within 6 weeks
of being made available.
f) Unless otherwise agreed at the time of requesting a quotation and placing an order,
steel grades DC01, DC03, DC04 and DC05 can be supplied as alloyed steels
(e.g. using boron or titanium).
g) For design purposes, a minimum yield strength (Re) of 140 MPa may be assumed
for steel grades DC01, DC03, DC04 and DC06.
h) For design purposes, a minimum yield strength (Re) of 120 MPa may be assumed
for steel grade DC06, and 100 MPa for DC07 steel.
i) For DC01 steel, the upper threshold Re = 280 MPa only applies for a period of
8 days after the product has been made available.
j) Niobium may be used as a substitute for titanium. Carbon and nitrogen must be
fully hardened.

2)
For products without a distinct yield strength, the yield strength values are used
for the 0.2 % proof stress values (Rp0.2), otherwise for the lower yield strength (Re1).
For thicknesses < 0.7 mm and > 0.5 mm, the maximum yield strength values
may be higher by 20 MPa. For thicknesses < 0.5 mm, the maximum yield
strength values may be higher by 40 MPa.
3)
For design purposes, a minimum yield strength of 140 MPa may be assumed
for steel grades DC01EK, DC04EK, DC03ED and DC04ED, while 120 MPa may
be assumed for steel grades DC06EK and DC06ED.
4)
For thicknesses < 0.7 mm and > 0.5 mm, the minimum values for elongation
at failure may be lower by 2 units. For thicknesses < 0.5 mm, the minimum
values for elongation at failure may be lower by 4 units.
5)
The r values apply only to a product thickness of > 0.5 mm.
For thicknesses > 2 mm, the r value decreases by 0.2.
6)
Other methods of deoxidisation may be used, subject to agreement when the order
is placed. In this case, the stability of mechanical properties and the period for the
absence of stretcher strains must be agreed at the time of ordering.
7)
For thicknesses > 1.5 mm, yield strength may reach a maximum value of 225 MPa.
8)
Niobium may be used as a substitute for titanium. Carbon and nitrogen
must be fully hardened.
9)
Other types of steel with the same mechanical properties may be supplied,
subject to agreement when the order is placed. Chemical composition of these
steels must be agreed on placement of the order.
10)
Steel grades DC03ED and DC04ED typically undergo solid-state decarburisation.
Carbon content as determined by parts analysis must not exceed 0.004 % after
decarburisation. If expressly agreed at the time of ordering, steel grades DC03ED
and ED04ED can be supplied as alloyed steels (e.g. using titanium or boron) without
undergoing solid-state decarburisation. In this case, the maximum values for carbon
and titanium contents are the same as for steel grade DC06ED.
11)
Upon special customer request, steel grade DC04EK can be supplied with a
thickness of 0.7 mm to 1.5 mm with Re < 210 MPa and A80 > 38%. It is then
up to the manufacturer to select roughness values for matt surfaces within the
applicable range.

Coating thickness can be calculated as follows using the coating weight.

1)
Type of coating
Example: A zinc coating of 100 g/m2 on both sides corresponds to an Z = Standard zinc-plating
approximate zinc coating thickness of 7.1 μm on each side: ZF = Zinc-iron alloy
ZA = Zinc-aluminium coating (Galfan), 5 % aluminium, remainder zinc
Zinc coating weight (g/m2, two sides)
= Zinc coating thickness (μm per side) AZ = Aluminium-zinc coating (Galvalume), 55 % aluminium, 1.6 % silicon,
2 x 7.1 (= zinc density)
remainde zinc
The same formula applies to any other coating. AS = Aluminium-silicon coating (FAL), 8–11 % silicon, remainder aluminium
2)
The end-user may assume that these threshold values are observed for both
top side and underside.

Materials knowhow

The right composition, optimum forming qualities and suitable

surface properties – getting everything right – requires extensive
technical knowhow. At present there are over 3,500 different types
of steel with different physical, chemical and ecological characteristics.
Each product, be it a control unit, bread slicer or automobile,
requires a different steel grade.

The fastest way to your steel grade

Stahlo ensures that you get to know the right steel grade for your
requirements right from the planning and development stages. Thanks to
