High speed steels
Tools steels used for machining and forming processes. They are alloyed to have high hardness and high resitance to tempering at high temperatura, up to about 600º C.
DetailsHigh-alloy steels
They are steels with elements of alloy in content superior to 3%. This type of steels usually present a low carbon content, since they are usually subjected to heat treatment, and with the alloying elements the required mechanical characteristics are achieved. In this way steels of high strength and toughness are achieved. Ni, CrNi and…
DetailsHot rolled bars
Hot-rolled product in straight forms with constant cross-section. The most common profiles are round, square, hexagonal, octagonal, rectangular; profiles can be manufactured in a particular way. The hot rolling consists of the passage of the as-cast or roughing between two rollers or cylinders which rotate at the same speed and in the opposite direction to…
DetailsHot rolling
Hot deformation, in steel at temperature > 1000ºC, of the semiproduct in continuous process through rolling cylinders until forming a rolled product: profiles, bars, flats, plates. Hot rolling has the main function of forming the final shape of the profile, obtaining an improvement of the steel properties and a correction of the heterogeneities with respect…
DetailsHot work tool steels
Alloyed tool steels intended for applications where the surface temperature is above 200 ° C. They are steels that stand out for their high wear resistance, high resistance to thermal shock and their high toughness. Their most common applications are for plastic injection molds, sliding guides and runners (nitrided), mill rolls, hot cutting blades, blades…
DetailsImpact flexion
It is the ability of a material to absorb energy at break after receiving an impact at a certain temperature. It measures the material resilience. The Charpy test is the one that is made to measure the resistance to the flexion by shock; it consists of measuring the energy absorbed at the breaking of a…
DetailsInduction furnace
It is a type of electric furnace that is a transformer where the primary are the coils connected to the electric grid and the secondary the mass of metal to be melted. The advantage of these furnaces are the high efficiency because heat is generated only in the mass to be melted, the electromagnetic currents…
DetailsInduction quenching
Heat treatment of quenching by alternating magnetic field, hardening the surface of the piece.
