DEFENCE APPLICATIONS

Precision and innovation for the security and defence industry
The BILSTEIN GROUP is one of the world's leading manufacturers of cold-rolled steel strip, laser-cut shaped plates and high-performance steel fibres for concrete reinforcement.
With decades of experience in metalworking and state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, the group stands for precision, reliability and consistently high quality – crucial for applications where safety, resilience and process stability are key.

Why BILSTEIN cold-rolled strip
for defence applications?

  • Highest quality: Manufactured from application-specific steels with excellent surface quality and homogeneous material properties – ideal for demanding, safety-relevant components.
  • Flexible adaptation: Wide range of material grades, surfaces and dimensions – individually configurable according to project requirements.
  • Innovative heat treatment: Advanced, partially CO₂-reduced heat treatment processes for high strength and greater sustainability.
  • Good electromagnetic properties: Special grades are already suitable for applications with increased electromagnetic requirements when delivered.

TYPICAL AREAS OF APPLICATION

Protective and structural components:

Strip steel for housings, brackets and reinforcement elements in robust systems and mobile platforms.

Electronics & Sensors:

Precise surfaces and good forming properties for housings and components of electronic assemblies and sensor technology.

Springs & connecting elements:

High strength and elasticity for springs, clips and connecting elements in safety-critical applications.

Heat management:

Use in heat sinks and thermally stressed components for high-performance electronics.

Protective structures made of steel fibre reinforced concrete:

STABILS steel fibres impress with their high performance and excellent workability – even at high dosages – and are suitable for use as reinforcement in building structures to protect against gunfire and explosions.

  • Safe constructions
