Cast Iron Products

Dutch Star’s line of hot-rolled strip steel includes forming and structural grades, heat-treatable steels and advanced and high-strength low-alloy steels. All are specially designed for specific and demanding applications

Heat-treatable steel

Dutch Star B.V offers a choice of hot-rolled heat-treatable steel. Its chemical composition and the production processes we employ ensure robust, consistent products. Our case-hardening steel is suitable for wear-resistant components that must bear extreme fatigue stress. Our high-carbon grades supplied in the ‘as-rolled’ untreated condition can be processed to meet specific requirements.

Overview

Case-hardening steel
Case-hardening grades provide excellent formability and good punching quality. Our case-hardening steel is suitable for wear-resistant components that must withstand extreme fatigue stress.

High-carbon steel
Hot-rolled high-carbon grades, supplied in the ‘as rolled’ untreated condition, are suitable for cold rolling to reduced thicknesses. They are often heat-treated to give the final mechanical properties required for the intended application. We offer five high-carbon grades to meet your processing needs.

Dutch Star B.V offers a comprehensive range of cold-rolled steel comprising both continuously-annealed and batch-annealed products.
This means we can tailor our offer to meet your precise requirements for formability, strength, surface finish or flatness.

Cold rolled steel: consistent, reliable products
Our advanced and ultra-high-strength cold-rolled steels are lightweight and enable design freedom for complex parts. Their high yield and ductility ensure shape accuracy and tolerancing, which enable thickness reduction and maintained in-service performance for difficult-to-form parts.

Overview

Coupled with consistent quality, our wide product selection provides opportunities for you to optimize both your products and processes. The benefits of our cold-rolled steel include:

• consistent and reliable end product quality
• lighter and stronger products
• repeatable, trouble-free processing
• maximised yield
• reduced waste and rework
