Even though stainless steel is a mature material, new grades are constantly being developed especially in the areas of formability, high and ultra-high strength areas, opening up the opportunity for customers to use stainless steel in areas of their designs previously thought impossible.
Outokumpu's Research & Development facilities have extensive experience of both product and process development which can be brought to bear on customer's challenges. In addition to new products, Outokumpu R&D focuses on innovative manufacturing processes that reduce costs, result in lower emissions, shorten lead times and improve quality.
