We specialize in steel that has the strength and corrosion resistance needed for energy exploration and production. Through enhanced products, Timken helps oil and gas customers drill deeper.  Timken steel is found at the heart of light, medium and heavy-duty vehicle engines, used in components integral to the combustion chamber.  We have experience in meeting the demanding metallurgical specifications as well as the stringent government requirements for military steel applications.  Timken melt quality, our ability to melt clean steel, high alloy steel and unique chemistries, enables us to provide dependable steel products for mining and construction components.  Manufacturers of off-highway equipment turn to Timken for steel bars and tubing, as well as precision steel components.  Timken alloy design, uniform chemistry and broad section size provide the optimum material for a variety of rail equipment applications.  Transmission design and technology has recently seen significant advances in the search for greater performance and fuel economy. Timken has been there with the steels needed to support these advances.  Energy is increasingly being generated from wind turbines turning in the breeze. And turbine manufacturers increasingly turn to Timken steel.  Timken is a major steel supplier in many markets, but the unique qualities of our steel also make us the supplier of choice for a number of lower volume applications. |
