ETG® for technically complex parts and production processes
Our high-strength ETG® steels exhibit high strength and excellent machinability even in their as-delivered state. They are also characterized by high fatigue strength and wear resistance. The presence of manganese sulfide results in short-breaking chips and the properties of these steels show a high degree of uniformity across different production batches. Users benefit from longer tool lives and reduced machine downtimes.
