When is technical consulting advisable?

The appropriate material depends, among other things, on the application, the mechanical and thermal stresses, the environmental conditions, and the requirements for machinability, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Please let us know the requirements of your application. STAHL KREBS will help you narrow down suitable materials from a technical standpoint and evaluate possible options.

To help us make an initial assessment, please provide information about the component’s application and function, mechanical or thermal stresses, and any special requirements for the material. Details regarding machining, required dimensions, delivery form, and quantity are also helpful. If a specific material is already being used, you can also provide us with its material designation or material number.

Don’t have all the details yet? That’s no problem. Just send us the requirements you already know. We can then work together to narrow down any outstanding technical questions.

Yes. If an existing material needs to be evaluated or an alternative sought, STAHL KREBS assists with the technical assessment of potential material options. Depending on the application, factors such as strength, hardness, temperature resistance, corrosion and wear resistance, as well as machinability or weldability, may be relevant for comparison. In addition, we take into account the required form of delivery, dimensions, and availability.

Which properties are critical for comparison depends on the specific application. Your specific technical requirements therefore serve as the starting point. Potential materials can be compared, for example, in terms of mechanical properties, temperature resistance, corrosion and wear resistance, or machinability. In addition to technical suitability, we also take practical factors into account, such as required dimensions, delivery forms, and availability.

Yes. Existing drawings, material specifications, or other technical documentation can be helpful in assessing the requirements. Simply send the available information along with your inquiry to STAHL KREBS. The more details we have about the specific application, the more precisely we can narrow down the possible materials from a technical standpoint.

If you have any questions about material selection or possible alternatives, please contact Dr.-Ing. Niklas Disch directly. Please briefly describe your application and the technical requirements you already know. You can reach him by phone at +49 212 5969 871 or by email at ndisch@stahl-krebs.de.

STAHL KREBS’s technical consulting service helps you select and classify suitable high-performance materials for your application. In doing so, we consider the technical requirements, relevant material properties, machinability, and availability. Even if you need to evaluate an existing material or are looking for an alternative, we’ll assist you with the technical assessment of potential material options.
