The individual and precisely pre-formed special profiles are supplied as rings, coils or bars. One ideal application area of sectional steel is components with complex shapes, which have to withstand high loads.
Features and advantages
- Excellent material properties thanks to the combination of hot rolling, cold forming and heat treatment
- High wear resistance thanks to optional inductive hardening with hardening depths from 0.5 to 5 mm
- Strength 1200 MPa after cold drawing
- High level of variety in geometric design
- Perfect dimensional accuracy
- Heat treatments under inert gas
- Potential to reduce costs through near-net-shape production
- 60% material savings compared to machining processes
- Hollow profiles with internal geometry or welded profiles are also available

Materials
Experienced ZOLLERN experts choose the appropriate material from a wide range of steels and steel alloys in order to meet the requirement that will be placed on the profile.
Hundreds of steel grades and other materials are available to choose from. For the steels, we use structural steels, machining steels, case-hardening steels, heat-treatable steels, rolling bearing steels, tool steels and stainless (austenitic, ferritic and martensitic) steels.
Processes
The profiles run through different processes in production, which are tailored to the desired profile properties.
Further machining is optionally carried out with various methods to produce customer-specific components that are ready to install by customer request.
- Hot rolling
- Cold rolling
- Cold drawing
- Inductive hardening
- Mechanical processing
- Heat treatment
- Surface treatment
- Assembly
