EN 10365 is the European standard that defines the nominal dimensions and masses of hot rolled steel I sections, H sections and channels. Published by CEN in January 2017, it replaced the long-standing German standards DIN 1025 (beams) and DIN 1026 (channels), and brought several British profile families into the same document. This article covers…
DetailsAs of June 1st, 2026, EXTRALLOYS LLC, a new company specialized in the hot extrusion of steel profiles based in Tunica, Mississippi, becomes part of the Montanstahl Group.
Steel profiles for space exploration must meet some of the most demanding requirements in the entire steel industry. Launch loads, vibration, vacuum exposure, cryogenic propellants, thermal cycling, and strict mass budgets all converge on the same structural elements. Traditionally, aerospace structures have relied on a mix of hot-rolled and standard structural sections in selected stainless…
DetailsSteel profiles for data centers are evolving rapidly, driven by the demands of AI workloads, higher power densities, and liquid cooling systems. Traditionally, data centers have been built using standardized steel components: hot-rolled carbon steel sections for primary structures, and roll-formed U, C, and Z profiles for rack systems. These solutions are efficient, scalable, and…
DetailsAs the European Union transitions into the definitive phase of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in 2026, the cost of importing steel into the EU is rising. For procurement managers in the metal industry, the “Swiss Advantage” has become a vital financial strategy. At Montanstahl, we offer our customers a unique benefit: our stainless…
DetailsInnovation in elite motorsport often begins by looking upwards. To push beyond the limits of physics, the high-performance automotive sector frequently draws upon materials and technologies originally developed for the aerospace industry, adapting them to the brutal challenges of competition. It is precisely at this intersection of aeronautical engineering and motor racing that the need…
DetailsIn today’s industrial world, the link between technology and visual culture is no longer an abstract concept but a powerful source of inspiration. At Montanstahl, art is not seen merely as decoration; it is a pillar of corporate culture that stimulates creativity, critical thinking, and a more dynamic and engaging work environment.
In industrial plants, whether in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical or energy sectors, stainless steel structural profiles play a key role in ensuring durability, hygiene, and resistance to aggressive environments.
Introduction In cold environments, characterized by frost, snow, de-icing salts, and large temperature swings, choosing the right material and profile geometry is critical. Montanstahl produces custom stainless and duplex steel profiles engineered to perform under these demanding conditions, ensuring structural reliability and dimensional precision. This article highlights three key aspects for cold climate applications: freeze–thaw…
DetailsIntroduction: Why Custom Steel Profiles Matter In the world of modern construction, mechanical engineering, and high-tech industrial applications, standard profiles are not always enough. When performance, precision, or integration require more than what stock products can offer, custom steel profiles become essential. At Montanstahl, we specialize in the development and manufacturing of tailored steel profiles,…
