Timken works with customers on a practical level to improve their products, streamline their operations and resolve steel-related issues.

Customers rely on our engineering and manufacturing expertise to help them select the right steel for the job. Presented with an engineering print or material specification, our engineers can select the optimum material from the over 300 standard types of steel we offer. Timken also has the ability to design a custom alloy to meet your individual application needs.

Timken takes a total-process view in material selection, considering aspects such as the customer’s material handling capabilities and manufacturing processes. Beyond metallurgical performance in the final application, we consider how the steel will be machined, finished and heat treated, seeking to maximize the yield and the performance of the Timken® steel.

 
Additionally, the value added solutions offered can help you design and implement the optimal supply chain for your application.  These broad capabilities enable us to recommend an entire supply chain solution that provides the best overall value and performance.
