Company Background:
The site specializes in mechanical steel stamping. The Company was active in metallurgy, the design and production of tools, metal forging, thermal treatment and surface treatments. They served manufacturers of industrial robots, transmissions, motors, agricultural and mining equipment, armaments, and transport vehicles.
The plant was processing a very wide range of metals: steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium and super alloys.
The forging capabilities allows to manufacture parts according to:
– A gross weight from 10 grams up to 800 kg for stamped parts,
– A gross weight from 1 kg up to 8 tons for open-die forged parts with a particularly high wrought ratio,
– An outside diameter up to 2500 mm for rings,
– A wide range of alloys: copper alloys, aluminiums, special steels, titanium, copper nickel alloys and superalloys.
Open-die forging
Open-die forging is a process mastered by the Group and frequently used for production of single or small series parts; that do not require dedicated tooling to be manufactured, or large parts up to 8 tons.
Ring rolling mill
it allows us to produce cylindrical or profiled rings with a circumferential grain flow and allows for machining allowances that are closer than in a traditional forging process . The manufacture of profiled rings requires the production of a tool and therefore is suitable for larger production volumes/series.
