Unprecedented strength and non-corrosive

Titanium is a high strength low density metal, with high corrosion resistance.  Titanium can be welded, machined and formed the same as any other steel.

Titanium has a melting point temperature of 1668°c which is greater than steel yet titanium weighs almost half that of stainless steel. Due to its unprecedented strength and non-corrosive characteristics, titanium is the metal of choice for engineers in the aerospace, petrochemical and medical industry.

• The higher strength of titanium enables engineers to use thinner materials, which in turn saves material costs and handling charges.
• Titanium is used for its high Density to low weight ratio.

Applications

Titanium is used in Aircraft for the engines and frames, Primairy steel, Automotive, Petrochemical, Medical implants, Offshore piping systems, Desalination plants, Pulp and Paper plants and Heat Exchangers (tube and compact types) and many more!

Tracebility

• All our material is sourced from ISO approved mills. We supply Titanium metals worldwide and have experience in sourcing and supplying Titanium to the Petrochemical, Oil and Gas industry, and metal finishing industry.
• All our material has full traceability and you can feel safe in the knowledge that we are committed to supplying our customers with a quality product and service.

Grades

Commercially pure Grades 1-4 are most commonly used for their high corrosion resistance. Grade 5 (Titanium with 6% Aluminium and 4% Vanadium) is used for its high strength.

Our standard program

• Plates
• Bars
• Pipes
• Tubes
• Wire
• Component

If you have any questions or concerns about using or handling titanium we are happy to provide onsite support!

One stop shop for high presision requirements and high demands.

The cast products manufactured in our production facilities we can produce castings which have a delivery weight from 1 to 4500 kg per piece. However, in cooperation with our partners, we can produce castings up to a delivery weight of several tons per piece.

Casting

• The individual part and small series production of special cast products is carried out using the water glass ester process.
• For high precision requirements and high demands on surface quality, we use the ceramic moulding process – Shaw process.
• For prototypes and individual parts we use 3D printing technology (rapid prototyping).

Moulds

The model equipment is produced in cooperation with our experienced contractual partners.
For simple castings, the patterns are produced both by hand and on conventional processing machines. Geometrically more demanding ones, on the other hand, are produced on CNC-controlled milling and turning machines.

Soldification simulation

With the solidification simulation we can offer our customers computer-aided simulation of a casting process

This enables us to identify possible weak points in advance of the casting development.
The solidification simulation is a very useful and economical supplement to the unavoidable practical tests.

Melting technology

• 1 x high frequency induction furnace, liquid capacity  180 kg
• 1 x high frequency induction furnace, liquid capacity  6000 kg
• 1 x high frequency induction furnace, liquid capacity 8000 kg

The quality of the raw material is also decisive for the final product.

Heat treatment

All heat treatments are carried out in our own electrically heated deep furnaces. Our key competencies are:

• Normalizing
• Remuneration
• Tempering
• Solution heat treatment – quenching
• Soft annealing

With appropriate heat treatment, the required mechanical properties of castings can be ensured.

Mechanical finishing

On state-of-the-art horizontal and vertical MAZAK CNC lathes with driven tools, the finishing of the castings is carried out in our company.

• The turning of larger and heavier castings is carried out on a CNC carousel lathe with driven tools up to 1200 mm diameter.
• Smaller castings are machined on horizontal CNC lathes with driven tools.
• Machining of simple components is performed on conventional lathes and milling machines.

Quality assurance

To ensure the high quality required by the customer, we carry out destructive and non-destructive testing procedures.

• The spectrometer is used to check the chemical composition of materials.
• Destructive and non-destructive tests are performed in external accredited laboratories.
• For all products we issue test certificates according to EN 10204 (chemical analysis, mechanical properties) as well as reports on non-destructive testing (RT, PT, MT and UT testing) and intergranular corrosion (IK).

With Heavy Duty Industries™ your component castings are in One stop Shop!

Open & Closed Die Forgings

• Highest reliability

We are your partner when high mechanical stress has to be taken into account and the highest reliability under aggressive environmental or ambient conditions is required.

• Production from one source

From steel production to the completion of the forged product, we carry out every step in the production process. We take responsibility ourselves and ensure that our customers receive consistent quality assurance. We check and document the quality of our products at every point of the production chain.

Open die forgings

Our open-die forgings are characterised by the tightest tolerances and large dimensions. In our ultra-modern facilities, we manufacture forgings to drawing with a weight of up to 35 tons. We have many areas of expertise, including the production of impellers, shafts and discs, for compressors or turbines and components for fasteners, separators, pumps and valves in a pre-machined condition.

Closed die forgings

Precision and resilience, as required for drill teeth, shrouds or mandrels, for example, are the hallmarks of our drop forgings. The products that we develop together with our customers have proven themselves under the toughest operating conditions and enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide.

Heavy Duty Industries™ has over the years been supplying critical forged components for the Mining and Metal industry succesfully.
