Our materials
Overview of our standard materials.
The following selection covers typical requirements in sheet metal processing. All materials are established in the German and European market.
| Material | Grades / Standard | Available thicknesses | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steel (cold rolled) |
DC01 / DC03 / DC04, EN 10130 |
0.8-3.0 mm, extended 0.5-6.0 mm |
highly formable, economical, very suitable for enclosures and bent parts |
| Steel (hot rolled) |
S235JR, EN 10025-2 |
2.0-10.0 mm | robust, suitable for welding, for stable structural parts |
| Galvanized steel | DX51D+Z / DX53D+Z, EN 10346 |
0.75-3.0 mm | corrosion protection through zinc coating, easy to process |
| Stainless steel | 1.4301 / 1.4016 / 1.4404, EN 10088 |
0.8-4.0 mm, extended up to 10.0 mm |
corrosion-resistant, hygienic, durable |
| Aluminium | EN AW-5754 / EN AW-1050A / EN AW-5005 / EN AW-5083, EN 485 |
1.0-6.0 mm, extended up to 10.0 mm |
lightweight, corrosion-resistant, good for front panels and enclosures |
| Copper | Cu-DHP / CW024A, EN 1652 |
0.5-3.0 mm | excellent conductivity, good for technical custom parts |
| Brass | CuZn37 / CW508L, EN 1652 |
0.5-3.0 mm | decorative, easy to process, for functional visible parts |
iAdditional grades, surfaces and thickness ranges are available on request depending on the project.
