The SWSTech engineers' machining know-how covers the following materials:
- Steels
- Stainless steels
- Hardened steels
- Aluminium alloys
- Magnesium and Beryllium alloys
- Pure Beryllium
- Titanium alloys
- Nickel/Cobalt base alloys
- plastics
For the various materials we use especially developed tools and respective machining strategies. However, manifold experiences in the following spheres are necessary:
- Application dependent material selection
- Manufacturing or availability of blank material
- Bars or plates
- Various casting methods
- Sintering/hot isostatic pressing
- forging
- machining sequence with intermediate stress relieve treatment
- pre- and post-heat treatment
- additional machining steps (e.g. grinding processes)
- joining processes (e.g. welding, brazing, ..)
- coatings
SWSTech implements this know how into the process, either derived from the company's own expertise or in co-operation with partners.
