Trials and Homologation

Sometimes it might be necessary to go through a course of trial and homologation in businesses that have just started production or aiming to process new steel types. Thanks to its wide customer portfolio, product range and industry experience, Ferineks plays an active role in completing these procedures in the shortest and most efficient way. The appropriate steel type is determined by taking into account the place of use of the material and the processes it will be subject to.

The term appropriate steel does not only refer to steel quality. Products of different manufacturers, which are the same within the scope of technical production standards, sometimes give different results at the point of use. For example, a batch annealed sheet metal of DC01 quality may be more flexible than another sheet of the same quality (DC01) produced by continuous annealing. For this reason, in addition to the technical data on paper, the experience factor also comes into play in material selection. Thanks to its industry experience of more than 15 years, Ferineks makes recommendations to its customers and supports them in obtaining definitive results in the selection of raw materials that will work as intented through trials.

Another process in which Ferineks plays a role as a solution partner is the homologation process. Our company, which keeps the products of various local and global manufacturers in stock or can supply them as quickly as possible when necessary, provides great convenience for users who want to test and approve new steel types or mills' products. Thanks to these opportunities, businesses that consume steel can enrich their supply options in terms of both material type and steel producer. After the approval processes of the new material used are completed, Ferineks supplies this material in whole coil, bands or cut-to-length format.
