CANTON, Ohio, June 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- TimkenSteel
Corp. (NYSE: TMST, timkensteel.com) a leader in customized alloy
steel products and services, has earned the prestigious American
Metal Market (AMM) Award for Steel Excellence in the "Best
Innovation – Product" category for its Endurance family of
ultra-high-strength, high-toughness steels. The company was
recognized at AMM's awards ceremony on Tuesday, June 26, in New York City.
The AMM Awards for Steel Excellence recognize world-class
innovation and excellence in steel and steel-related industries.
Winners are selected by a panel of judges with extensive steel
industry leadership experience.
"We're honored and humbled to be part of such a distinguished
group of industry innovators," said Ray
Fryan, vice president of technology and quality. "Innovation
has been a TimkenSteel core value since we were founded more than
100 years ago. The focus on making cleaner and better-performing
steels to meet our customers' needs is something our company – and
especially our team of materials science and manufacturing experts
– are particularly proud of."
The Endurance family of steels, comprised of both
TimkenSteel's existing high-strength and/or high-toughness grades
as well as three new, patent-pending, ultra-high-strength,
high-toughness steels, is designed to provide longer life, more
power and/or lighter weight in highly engineered components like
gears. These grades provide multiple material options that can
satisfy a range of performance objectives. In addition, higher
levels of strength and toughness offer designers and manufacturers
the ability to create improved components that can achieve
significant savings and performance advantages over those produced
from more traditional steel grades. Additional benefits may include
reduced downtime and lower warranty costs.
The Endurance line results from close collaboration with
a broad range of industrial, oil and gas and automotive customers
to achieve enhanced results in extremely demanding
applications.
