克虜伯·蒂森不銹鋼公司是于1995年由德國克虜伯公司和蒂森公司不銹鋼扁平材生產合并而組建的，1997年成立克虜伯·蒂森不銹鋼公司。隨之先后購買了意大利特爾尼特殊鋼公司（AST)90%的股權，又控股墨西哥不銹鋼公司（Mexinox),1997年，與中國上海浦東鋼鐵集團公司合資，興建上海克虜伯不銹鋼公司（SKS)。目前，克虜伯·蒂森不銹鋼公司在意大利AST公司的年產能力為130萬噸，其他四個主要子公司年產粗鋼的總能力為190萬噸，冷軋不銹鋼扁平材的總能力為165萬噸，這使克虜伯·蒂森不銹鋼公司成為世界最大的不銹鋼生產企業，其扁平材產品約占歐鄒市場份額的37%,世界市場份額的15%。

 克(ke)虜伯·蒂(di)森不銹鋼公司(si)的不銹鋼生產工藝流程如下：

 其工藝流程的特(te)點可概括(kuo)為：

①. 從熔煉、連鑄(zhu)、熱(re)軋(ya)到(dao)冷軋(ya)全部工序均(jun)一體化，采用二步法(fa)和三步法(fa)煉鋼工藝對提高鋼材質量、降低成本起到(dao)關鍵(jian)作用。

②. 在(zai)特(te)尼爾廠新建的(de)(de)CSP型薄板坯連鑄(zhu)(zhu)機(ji)(ji)，先期鑄(zhu)(zhu)出的(de)(de)板坯厚度(du)為60mm,然后用(yong)現有的(de)(de)熱(re)軋(ya)機(ji)(ji)在(zai)線軋(ya)制(zhi)成厚度(du)為2~6mm的(de)(de)熱(re)帶。另外該廠新建一條(tiao)退火(huo)和酸洗生產(chan)線，將調整軋(ya)制(zhi)和退火(huo)酸洗能力之間的(de)(de)不平衡，從而使冷軋(ya)帶材(cai)產(chan)量提(ti)高到8萬噸／年左右，這是同類生產(chan)線中(zhong)最(zui)高的(de)(de)。

③. 正考慮(lv)在克雷(lei)弗爾德廠新建第五座冷(leng)軋廠，多出的15萬噸／年生(sheng)產能(neng)力將(jiang)與當地新的退火和酸洗線相匹配。

④. 克(ke)虜(lu)伯·蒂森(sen)不銹鋼公司(si)努力(li)向(xiang)每位客戶提(ti)供符(fu)合客戶要求的(de)規(gui)格(ge)、尺(chi)寸(cun)、數(shu)量(liang)的(de)優質扁平材(cai)。在(zai)克(ke)雷(lei)弗爾(er)德新(xin)建歐洲最大的(de)不銹鋼服務(wu)中(zhong)心，對(dui)不銹鋼進行精(jing)整深加工。

克虜伯·蒂森不銹鋼公司的主要產品有奧氏(shi)體不(bu)銹鋼熱軋酸洗板和各種表面狀態的冷軋板卷，鐵素體不(bu)銹鋼酸洗熱軋板卷和厚規格的奧氏體不銹鋼冷軋板卷。
