Heavy plate
Thinking the future of steel means keeping a constant eye on customer requirements. This approach enables us to make products which are among the most efficient of our age, both technically and economically. This is certainly true of ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe heavy plate. It is the basis for high-strength, low-weight steel structures providing maximum robustness and load-bearing capacity.
Our special structural steels are manufactured in state-of-the-art production facilities which have been continuously modernized and expanded in recent years. We produce roughly a million metric tons of heavy plate per year for a wide range of applications on our four-high rolling mill and hot strip cut-to-length lines. Continuous material inspections and process controls guarantee consistently high steel quality.
We use advanced rolling and heat treatment methods such as normalizing and thermomechanical rolling, accelerated cooling, water/air quenching and direct hardening to give our products exactly the properties customers expect.
ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe manufactures water quenched steels on a modern roller quench unit which enables the production of top-quality heavy plate in light and heavy gauges by making use of the specific advantages of the individual lines.
ThyssenKrupp heavy plate is used wherever extreme strength is required – for example in the manufacture of dump trucks, crawlers and excavators. Our XAR® special structural steels give manufacturers of hard-wearing construction equipment a material which is tough, durable and reliable. A consistent focus on application is also a factor when designing mobile cranes: Our quenched and tempered N-A-XTRA® and XABO® steels offer low weight, high strength and close thickness tolerances.
ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe is more than just a plate supplier.
We offer everything from made-to-order parts through to complete components under the name X components® via our global service center network.
We can develop individual processing concepts with you for your specific application requirements.

X components®
In 2009, the heavy plate center moved to the next stage in terms of processing and, in addition to supplying top-quality plate via its global steel service centers, now also offers made-to-order parts through to finished components tailored to your individual requirements.
To ensure that even the highest requirements are met, all X components® are manufactured exclusively from heavy plate supplied by ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe. In addition to the tried-and-tested carbon steels, our wear-resistant, high-strength special structural steels XAR®, N-A-XTRA® und XABO® are of course also available.
Top quality, a wide range of sizes and the global steel service center network of ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe permit a great deal of freedom for part designs.
A perfect example of a highly innovative steel service center is that in Chile. Modern flame and underwater plasma cutting lines, a four-roll bending machine and an in-house machining center guarantee consistent quality when processing the plates manufactured in Germany.
Originally developed to meet the needs of Chilean mine operators for use in large-scale mining machinery, X components® can of course also be used in other application areas. X components® can for example be used in cranes, truck dumper bodies, excavators shovels and tubes/pipes as well as highly stressed side panels or cutter bars. In order to achieve optimum productivity and profitability, all X components® are designed and manufactured specifically for your applications.
