Material properties for cutting-edge technical applications

Our special alloys cover a wide range of properties to safely master even challenging conditions.

corrosion resistance

Many materials offer excellent resistance to moisture, chemical influences, and environmental media—ideal for outdoor areas, maritime applications, and chemical engineering.

Acid and chlorine resistance

Special stainless steels and alloys withstand aggressive media, such as those found in electroplating processes or process plants.

Heat resistance

Selected materials remain stable and dimensionally stable even at high operating temperatures – well above 500 °C, and in the case of high-performance alloys even above 1000 °C.

Mechanical strength

Heat-resistant steels, nickel alloys, and titanium offer high tensile strength and are ideal for fasteners subjected to dynamic loads.

Electrical & magnetic properties

Certain alloys enable optimal conductivity or defined magnetic properties—ideal for electronics and sensor technology.

Efficient and reliable production of sophisticated alloys

The processing of special materials requires specific expertise in forming technology and mechanical engineering. Schuhl & Co. combines modern cold extrusion technology with its own tool development to create a high-performance manufacturing system.
