POTENTIAL OF STEEL
Steel is a universal and durable material providing variable application in electrical appliances and home appliances. Thanks to the quality of steel processing the material obtains required parameters: high strength, formability, oxidation and corrosion resistance and other properties.
In the case of home appliances there are specific requirements imposed on functionality. There is a trend to produce quality equipment with high energy efficiency and low consumption, having a long service life.
U. S. Steel Košice produces and supplies steel sheets for a wide range of home appliances
(sheeting, scaffolds, doors, other parts), structural components for TV sets, electronics and electrical equipment for cooling and heating. Our offering also includes electrical steel for manufacturing electromagnetic circuits for rotating parts of appliances, small transformer coils, electromagnets, and other electrical components.
Hot Rolled sheets
Low carbon steel sheets are intended for processing by deep drawing and cold forming. It is possible to apply other surface layers on steel sheets as necessary and thus carry out adjustments such as galvanizing, coating and enameling.
- Strength and durability
- Diversity of the material shape and thickness
- Oxidation and corrosion resistance
- Suitable for processing using various methods
- Sheets can be welded
Electrical steel
Electrical steel is a functional material for manufacturing magnetic components for various application areas including transformer coils, electromagnets and circuits for rotating parts of appliances, e.g. of washing machines or clothes dryers.
As raw material, electrical steel is easy to process for further use.
- HIGH PERMEABILITY OF STEEL = guarantee of mechanical properties
- CORROSION RESISTANCE
- STRENGTH AND FORMABILITY of material
- Steel production according to Standard EN ISO 9001
- POSSIBILITY OF RECYCLING
Organic coated sheets
Organic coated steel sheets are characterized by corrosion resistance, plasticity and high efficiency in manufacturing as these sheets speed up the production process, reduce the consumption of energy and are environmentally friendly.
Color coated sheets are composed of several surface layers – depending on required properties to be obtained through coating.
Steel sheets treated this way can be used in the manufacturing of home appliances, electrical equipment and other industrial sectors.
-
Strength and formability
-
Uniformity of mechanical properties
-
Increased humidity and corrosion resistance - ideal for use in appliances
-
Possible treatment for resistance to high temperatures and UV radiation
-
Resistance to mechanical deterioration and scratches
-
Excellent surface quality
-
Variability of colors and surface treatment (smooth, grain, pattern design)
-
High treatment efficiency
-
Minimum maintenance of products
THIN ORGANIC COATED SHEETS
Thin organic coated steel sheets represent an efficient alternative to galvanized sheets – primarily in case of solutions requiring an extra high level of corrosion protection. Thin organic coated sheets provide three times higher corrosion resistance while maintaining weldability at the same quality level.
The thin organic layer significantly improves mechanical properties of steel, mainly its formability. Steel coated this way is suitable for various form of further processing by pressing, profiling, and rolling – for use in electronics as well as construction sector. It is at the same time possible to apply on the surface a color coating without previous treatment which makes it possible to obtain required appearance quickly and efficiently.
Thin organic coated steel sheets are chrome-free which adds to the safer management of waste and reducing pressure on the environment.

Okamžitá možnosť aplikovania farby = úspora výrobných nákladov
Výroba ocele s rôznymi variantmi povrchovej úpravy / pigmentácie
Bez použitia chrómu
NO FINGERPINTS, JUST A PERFECT SURFACE
The current requirement of customers is to produce not only functional products but also visually attractive products. Currently, home appliances are no longer just an ugly piece of necessary equipment but a vital part of modern interior.
Therefore steel is an ideal material for the design of appliances and electronics. Thanks to the surface treatment with thin organic coatings steel has a surface that is resistant to fingerprints even at the most exposed points.
Another benefit is also inexpensive maintenance.
Thin organic coated steel sheets provide home appliances with long lasting attractive appearance and protection against scratches, durability, and safety in daily use.
INNOVATIONS FOR GREEN FUTURE
U. S. Steel Košice brings innovation for optimizing production processes and technical performance of equipment while continuously reducing emissions of CO2 and minimizing the environmental impact.
Oceľ šetrí 30 - 70 % prírodných zdrojov
Dnešná produkcia vysokopevnostnej ocele umožňuje používanie ľahkých konštrukcií – tenšie materiály si pritom zachovávajú totožné mechanické vlastnosti, ale sú efektívnejšie z hľadiska využívania surovín. Pri spracovávaní rovnakého množstva ocele je tak možné vyrobiť násobne viac produktov, čo prispieva k udržateľnosti produkcie.
Znižovaním hmotnosti spotrebičov klesajú výrobné náklady, náklady na prepravu a takisto aj náklady na spotrebu energie pre koncového zákazníka.
Predĺženie životnosti a zníženie emisií
Oceľ používaná pri výrobe domácich spotrebičov je charakteristická svojou vysokou pevnosťou a trvácnosťou (dochádza k spomaleniu procesu únavy materiálu) – pre bezproblémovú, ekologickú a dlhodobú prevádzku zariadení. Týmto sa redukuje potreba ďalšej výroby ocele a oceľových produktov.
Oceľ je recyklovateľný materiál, vďaka čomu je možné jeho opätovné využitie. Pri spracovaní recyklovaného materiálu sa znižuje produkcia emisií o 42 % a úspora energie predstavuje 30 %.
U. S. Steel Košice vyrába a dodáva oceľ, ktorá spĺňa prísne štandardy kvality a je v súlade s príslušnými normami kvality EN ISO 9001.
Zníženie energetickej náročnosti
Pri domácich spotrebičoch je kľúčová spotreba vody, elektrickej energie a ich celková výkonnosť. Na jednoduchú orientáciu slúžia energetické štítky, ktoré vychádzajú z jednotného testovania a posudzujú stanovené parametre z hľadiska energetickej účinnosti konkrétneho spotrebiča.
Pri výbere nových spotrebičov je vhodné zohľadniť hodnotenie jednotlivých parametrov a zvoliť si produkty s vysokou energetickou účinnosťou.
