The outstanding properties of BÖHLER special steels only come into their own when selected, processed and treated correctly. This requires materials knowledge, which we impart to our customers and employees in various courses in our Steel Academy.

In our ISO 17025 accredited and NADCAP-MTL certified test laboratories, approximately 500,000 test orders are carried out annually according to 180 different accredited test methods. The central database for recording all test data, LISA-LIMS, has been in highly reliable use since 2003. In certification, around 50,000 acceptance test certificates are created annually on the basis of the test results from the companies and the test laboratories.

To achieve higher material strength, better wear resistance and improved corrosion behaviour of a tool or component, the heat treatment process is essential. We currently offer heat treatment for tool steels such as, high alloy cold work steels, hot work steels, plastic mould steels, high speed steels, PM steels and special materials in Isando Gauteng, Pinetown, Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), and Cape Town.
