Copper – uniquely versatile
With the classic tin bronze as a starting point, copper materials can look back on several thousand years of history, during which time they have lost neither their fascination nor their importance. On the contrary, the enormous range of alloys in combination with the diverse processing options open up a broad spectrum of applications. These include all sectors from the automotive industry, mechanical and plant engineering, electrical engineering, energy technology and mining to the construction and sanitary industries.
large selectionOur variety of alloys
The standard range of alloys is already very broad. It ranges from low-alloy materials such as CuNiSi bronzes and aluminum bronzes to brasses, silicon brasses and special brass alloys. In addition, we are able to further process and machine formats provided by the customer in-house using forming and temperature treatment steps.
from off-the-peg to custom-madeOur production facilities
This brings us to the topic of production. The production and processing of our own alloys starts with continuous casting. Each wrought material then undergoes at least extrusion. Only after extrusion are two different further paths possible: further processing to the finished semi-finished product (drawing, heat treatment) or forging (possibly also with downstream heat treatment). Both semi-finished products and forged parts can be used as an input stage for internal finishing into finished parts.
In addition to the standard processes available, we also offer customized solutions in many other areas of use and application - entirely according to the wishes of our customers. We work closely with our customers to define specific production and process conditions in order to achieve the desired product goal.
