Erasteel's gas atomized metal powders, known worldwide under the ASP® brand, are used for high performance tools and components.
Other steel and alloy powders are sold under the Pearl® brand. These powders are used for high-tech applications.
High-speed steels
High-speed steels are high-alloy steels that offer a complete range of steels with mechanical and physical properties to suit various applications.
Their particularity is, among other things, that they are extremely tough and wear-resistant.
Powder metallurgy
In 2019, Erasteel celebrated the 50th anniversary of the first atomization of metal powders with its flagship brand ASP®.
Using this process, Erasteel produces steels that are stronger than those produced by conventional techniques and also allows the production of more highly alloyed materials with higher quantities of carbide-generating materials. These combinations offer higher wear resistance, greater hardness, superior toughness and excellent polishing properties.
These ASP® grades are used in many high performance applications such as cutting tools for metal, plastic, wood and paper (saws, knives etc.) as well as mechanical components and other cold working tools.
Other steel and alloy powders are sold under the Pearl® brand. These powders are used for high-tech applications.
