• The steel composition of DILLIDUR, optimised to achieve high wear-resistance combined with pleasant working and welding, permits low preheat temperatures for welding and flame-cutting. This assures greater reserves in workshop fabrication and for on-site repairs under adverse conditions.

• DILLIDUR steels are available with hardnesses ranging from 325 to 600 Brinell to withstand maximum exposure to wear.

• Many thick-walled wear-exposed components, such as high-capacity shovels for punishing service in mines, for instance, need special resistance to cracking. The solution then is DILLIDUR IMPACT, a steel possessing verified extremely high toughness.

• DILLIMAX is available in a large number of different variants – up to minimum yield strengths of 1,100 MPa, in plate thicknesses of up to 290 mm, and also in the form of Grade E to meet extreme toughness requirements at temperatures of -60 °C.

• We guarantee for the widely used DILLIMAX 690T grade significantly higher Charpy V-notch toughnesses than specified in the EN 10025, Part 6, and ASTM A514 standards, assuring you of additional safety against cracking during processing and use than in the case of standard grades.

• You benefit from the high cleanness and homogeneity of all DILLIMAX steels, with an in-works UT ultrasonic guarantee over and above the applicable standard (S₁ E₁ in accordance with EN 10160) and extremely low limits for phosphorus and sulphur contents.

• Despite these steels’ high mechanical strength, their low carbon equivalents permit sure and cost-effective welding.

• Customers can, if they wish, also agree with us strict ultrasonic-inspection requirements and guaranteed properties in the plate-thickness direction (Z grade in accordance with EN 10164) for extremely thick plates.

• DILLIMAX can also be ordered to DIPLAN specifications to assure excellent flatness across the entire steel surface. DILLIMAX TL assures ultra-tight thickness tolerances for crane booms.

• Thanks to its exceptionally homogenous internal properties in even extremely thick plates, DILLIMAX is approved in accordance with DNV and ABS standards, for example, for particularly sensitive offshore applications.
