Green Steel Group is one of the leading producers of metal fibers and wools in the World: our main products are steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, bronze, zinc and aluminium fibers and wools.
We supply fibers to the most important brake pads producers worldwide.
Our aim is to constantly innovate both the production process and our range of products.
Metal powders open up new possibilities for creative and cost-effective design solutions. Almost 80% of global iron and steel powder production is converted into sintered components. The manufacturing process involves the shaping of a tailor-made powder formulation by pressure and heat (sintering). Sintered components offer design freedom, almost 100% material utilization and many other benefits. Over 40 million sintered components are produced every day for use in numerous applications including vehicles, power tools and white goods.

High temperature brazing is a joining process carried out under vacuum or in a controlled (reducing) atmosphere with a brazing temperature above 900°C. At brazing the brazing filler metal melts and is drawn by capillarity while molten into the thin space between the base material (not melted) that are to be joined. When cooled a strong and leak free metallurgical bond is created.
In terms of quality and capacity, we are a top performer in this highly specialized and demanding application. We have gained an unrivalled reputation for providing effective and reliable powder solutions that can be optimized in filter packs for particular polymers.
The main features for a cost-effective quality filter media are:

Thermal surfacing – an opportunity to achieve the desired performance characteristics on exposed metal surfaces. Höganäs high-quality thermal surfacing powders are based on nickel, cobalt or iron. They offer a proven, cost-effective method to improve both the performance and endurance of components in high-wear and corrosive environment. Examples include engine valves, printing rollers, glass bottle moulds and steel rollers.
Höganäs powders are particularly suited to the needs of high-tech surface coating methods such as Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA), surfacing, laser cladding, High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF), plasma or flame spraying and powder welding.

Higher productivity, better welding characteristics and improved weld metal quality all add up to increased profitability for the user. This is why the welding industry has switched to metal powder – both as a coating component for coated welding electrodes and as an important constituent in cored wires.
Powders are available for all types of coated welding electrodes as well as flux-cored and metal-cored wires.

NutraFine™ is an elemental iron powder range. Using our ‘enrichment technology’ we have been able to develop the range so that a reduced iron is equal in bioavailability to basic electrolytic iron, but at a far more competitive price. The range has none of the side-effects associated with ferrous sulphate remaining pure and stable during mixing, milling and storing.
