Railway safety

Maintenance-free, robust and failure-resistant – Austroroll

Corrosion resistance

Environmentally friendly across the oceans

Boosting efficiency and reliability on the road, on rails and across the oceans

With a unique and broad access to key technologies Wieland is a long-standing partner of the automotive industry. We develop and produce reliable parts and key components for the e-machine, the powertrain and the battery. Comprehensive materials know-how, years of experience in stamping & forming technology as well as with laser welding of copper materials are also the basis for the development of very special copper strip for power electronics - for best conductive connections on the power boards.

For a safe and efficient railway infrastructure, we have developed Austroroll switch points, maintenance-free devices, robust and failure-resistant. Lubrication of bearing plates is no longer necessary and the changeover resistance can be reduced by up to 60%.

As corrosion resistance is key for offshore applications, Wieland has developed a special copper alloy under the name of Eucaro. Tubes and fittings made of CuNi10Fe1,6Mn (EUCARO10) are today benchmark components for shipbuilding and offshore applications.

Solutions

High efficiency components for E-Mobility

The electrification of the drivetrain is gathering speed all over the world. As a partner of many years’ standing to the automotive industry, Wieland is at the heart of these developments and manufactures highly developed components for eMobility.

Strip for power electronics – turbo not only for e-mobility

Power electronics are being used in more and more applications. Wieland has developed a special product for this purpose which meets the special requirements in the production of DCP (Direct Copper Bonding) boards.

Austroroll - Roller device for railway points

Maintenance-free, robust and failure-resistant - Austroroll sets standards for maintenance-free switch points for railway devices. By using Austroroll the lubrication of the bearing plates is no longer necessary. The world's only permanently elastically mounted roller system reduces the changeover resistance by up to 60%. Maintenance costs, malfunctions and ultimately delays in train traffic are thus considerably reduced.

Ecoline drive – lead-free solutions for components

Components for automotive applications are exposed to very high loads such as high temperatures or friction and require material characterstics with high robustness and stress resistance. We offer our pre-material for slide bearing applications, hot stamped parts and machined components in various lead-free alloys adapted to a wide variety of processing methods and applications.
