Outokumpu Prodec range
Stainless steels for superior machinability
Extensive technical knowledge and our end-to-end production chain enables us to optimize the material's machinability properties through all steps of the process.
Unlike typical grades optimized for machinability, Prodec products have similar corrosion resistance to conventionally produced stainless steel grades.
We believe in the world that lasts forever
Why Prodec range
• Prodec can double tool lifetime.
• Superior quality and tolerances rodec expands the machining window, leading to superior chip formation while avoiding built up edge and tool wear.
Why Outokumpu
• Outokumpu is a global leader in stainless steel, and innovator of the first stainless steels in the world.• A strong customer focus, sustainability, and technical excellence are at the heart of everything we do.
• As a customer you benefit from our strong R&D and technical support.
Why stainless steel
• The durability of stainless steel means that it is not only the best, but also the most economically sustainable choice for a wide range of applications.• All of our products are made from an average of 85% recycled material and are fully recyclable at the end of their lifecycles.
