Tough – Creusabro^® Steels for Extreme Loads

Meeting the Highest Demands on Wear-Resistant Steel

Wear and tear is a major challenge in many industries—especially in quarries, recycling plants, and demolition sites. Machines and components are exposed to extreme loads, making materials that are not only resistant but also durable absolutely essential.

Wear-Resistant Steel from UnionStahl: Powerful and Reliable

As one of Europe’s leading distributors of heavy plate, UnionStahl offers a comprehensive portfolio of wear-resistant steels. A particular highlight is the Creusabro^® range from Industeel, available exclusively in the D-A-CH region. These special steels stand out thanks to their unique chemical composition with chromium and molybdenum, ensuring exceptional resistance to both temperature and wear.

For Extreme Applications: Creusabro® 4800 and 8000

In coarse pre-shredding processes—such as crushers, shredders, or sorting plants—Creusabro® 4800 and Creusabro® 8000 have proven their worth thanks to their high impact strength and outstanding thermal resistance. These properties make them the ideal solution when wear occurs under high thermal loads, for example when working with hot or mixed asphalt.

Sustainable Wear Steel: Creusabro® 6400

Creusabro® 6400 also delivers excellent wear resistance and durability, particularly in applications at ambient or moderately elevated temperatures.
One clear advantage of Creusabro® 6400 is its sustainable production: the steel is manufactured using more than 85% recycled scrap, actively helping to reduce the CO₂ footprint.

Easy to Machine – Tough in Operation

Thanks to its moderate hardness in the delivery condition, all Creusabro® steels can be processed easily: cutting, bending, and welding are possible with conventional tools. Under real operating conditions, the so-called TRIP effect (Transformation Induced Plasticity) further enhances wear resistance—ensuring maximum service life and cost efficiency.
