SPECIAL MATERIALS
& PROCUREMENT
Special Materials & Procurement –
when standard dimensions aren't enough.
SPECIAL MATERIALS& PROCUREMENT
If standard dimensions are not sufficient, we support you with the project-based procurement of technical metal semi-finished products according to material, dimensions and customer specifications.
Taferner Stahlhandel is your contact for special materials, special grades and demanding semi-finished products made of stainless steel, metals and special alloys.
Especially in mechanical engineering, plant engineering, energy and pressure vessel technology as well as technical industrial projects, materials are often required that are not available as standard stock items. These include special dimensions, inch dimensions, large diameters, heavy plate thicknesses, special delivery forms or specific certificate requirements.
We support our customers in the procurement of such materials and check project-specific availability, executions, dimensions and delivery options. The focus is not only on the material itself, but also on the technical specification, the required delivery form, the dimensions, the quantity, the documentation and the delivery date.
Our focus is on high-quality metal semi-finished products for industrial applications.
These include round material, flat bars, sheets, plates, tubes, pipe components, plate cuttings, forged parts and custom-made components. Depending on project requirements, different material groups and special grades can be requested.
Project-Based Procurement of Technical Metal Semi-Finished Products
Not every requirement can be covered with standard material or common stock dimensions. In many technical applications, special material properties are required — such as high corrosion resistance, temperature resistance, strength, wear resistance, pressure resistance or good machinability.
For such requirements, careful material selection is essential. In many cases, it is not enough to provide only a general material designation. B2B customers often require specific material numbers, standard designations, dimensions, delivery forms and certificates. This is exactly where our procurement service comes in.
Taferner Stahlhandel reviews your inquiry according to the technical specifications and supports you in procuring suitable materials and semi-finished products. Thanks to our supplier network, we can respond flexibly to special dimensions, special grades and project-specific requirements.
What We Can Procure
We procure technical semi-finished products and special materials according to your inquiry.
These include, among others:
Special Grades
We check the procurement of technical grades according to material number, standard designation or customer specification. These include, among others, high-strength steels, stainless steels, duplex and superduplex grades, heat-resistant materials, nickel-base alloys, titanium alloys, aluminium alloys and other technical metals.
Special Dimensions
Many projects require dimensions that are not available as standard sizes. These include large diameters, heavy plate thicknesses, special lengths, special widths, special cross-sections or project-specific cuttings.
Inch Dimensions
For international projects, existing plants or spare parts, inch dimensions are often required. We check project-specific availability of materials and semi-finished products in inch dimensions.
Sheets and Plates
We support the procurement of sheets, plates and plate cuttings in different material grades, thicknesses and formats. Especially for heavy thicknesses, special formats or technical specifications, an individual inquiry is recommended.
Round Material and Bars
Round bars, flat bars, square bars and technical bar stock can be requested according to material, diameter, length and quantity. Large diameters or special grades are also checked on a project-specific basis.
Tubes and Pipe Components
Depending on the material and application, welded or seamless tubes as well as pipe components can be requested. Important details include outside diameter, wall thickness, length, material, standard and required documentation.
Forged Parts and Special Parts
For demanding applications in mechanical engineering, plant engineering or the energy sector, forged parts and project-specific special parts can also be requested. Technical drawings, material specifications, dimensions and quantities are particularly helpful in this case.
Typical Areas of Application
Special materials and specific semi-finished products are required wherever standard material is not sufficient. This may be due to technical, mechanical, thermal or corrosive requirements. The decisive factors are not only the material group, but also the exact execution, delivery form and documentation.
Typical areas of application include:
Mechanical engineering
Plant engineering
Energy and power plant technology
Pressure vessel technology
Chemical industry
Offshore and maritime applications
Repair and spare parts procurement
Special constructions
Technical industrial projects
Welded constructions
Apparatus engineering
Tool and fixture construction
How Your Special Inquiry Works
1. Define the Material
You provide us with the required material, material number, grade, standard designation or a technical description. If you are unsure, you can also describe the application or requirement.
2. Define Delivery Form and Dimensions
For the review, we need information about the desired delivery form. This may include round material, sheet, plate, tube, flat bar, square bar, profile, cutting or forged part. In addition, dimensions such as length, width, thickness, diameter, wall thickness or piece weight are important.
3. Check Technical Requirements
We take certificates, standards, surfaces, tolerances, machining, quantity, delivery date and delivery location into account on a project-specific basis. The more precise your information is, the faster the inquiry can be checked.
4. Receive an Offer
After checking availability and procurement options, you will receive an individual offer based on your technical inquiry. Prices and delivery times are calculated depending on material, dimensions, quantity and availability.
Which Information Helps with Fast Processing?
To help us process your inquiry efficiently, the following information is useful:
Material / grade / material number
Standard or specification
Delivery form
Dimensions
Quantity or number of pieces
Required certificate
Surface or machining
Delivery location
Desired delivery date
Application area or technical specification
Incomplete inquiries can also be submitted. The more precise the technical information is, the more specifically we can check suitable delivery options.
