Different materials, properties, dimensions and tolerances

Per request THN can also supply other materials such as 100Cr6, 42CrMo4 or 50CrV4. In consultation, it is also possible to supply special coatings, dimensions or tolerances. This is usually possible with ready-machined shafts or, if there is sufficient demand, in trade length of approx. 6 meters. THN also has a number of specials in stock. Contact us for the possibilities.
