CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- For 100 years,
TimkenSteel (NYSE: TMST, www.timkensteel.com) has created some of
the cleanest and best-performing special bar quality (SBQ) steel in
the industry. Today, the company offers customers more than 500
grades, including its new Endurance product line, which is
being introduced at this week's Gear Expo in Columbus, Ohio.
This family of Endurance steels, comprised of both
TimkenSteel's existing high-strength and/or high-toughness grades
as well as three new, patent-pending, ultra-high-strength,
high-toughness steels, results from close collaboration with a
broad range of industrial, oil and gas and automotive customers to
achieve enhanced performance in extremely demanding
applications.
"We've always been a leader in developing high-performance
steels, and now we're making our offering even better," said
Ray Fryan, TimkenSteel's vice
president of technology and quality. "Endurance steels
combine higher levels of strength and toughness, driven by an
application's unique requirements. For our customers and, in turn,
their customers, this can translate to increased power
transmission, lighter weight, and/or extended product life and
reduced component failure. Better yet, using Endurance
steels, customers don't have to redesign their components or
processes to reap the benefits."
Endurance grades are suited for demanding applications in
oil and gas, mining, military, marine, construction and more. In
fact, a primary benefit of the Endurance line is that it
provides multiple material options that can satisfy a range of
performance objectives.
In highly engineered components like gears, these grades' higher
levels of strength and toughness offer gear designers/manufacturers
the ability to create improved gears that can achieve significant
savings and performance advantages over those produced from more
traditional steel grades. Additional benefits may include reduced
downtime and lower warranty costs.
"These steels serve demanding, energy-intensive environments
where components are handling very high loads and also moving at
very high speeds," Fryan said. "They offer an incredible amount of
strength and toughness in a small envelope.
"Our technology team is constantly working to push the bounds of
what's possible to meet not only today's needs, but what our
customers are looking for five, 10 and even 100 years from now,"
Fryan said.
