Forming & Protection

Cold forming is a metalworking process where materials are shaped under significant compressive or tensile forces  with or without minimal preheating. This distinguishes cold forming from hot forming, with the dividing line being the recrystallization temperature. Formation of Material Microstructure …

We are surrounded by products made from diverse materials and shapes. Manufacturing processes transform raw materials like metal or plastic into semi-finished products such as bars, tubes, and sheets. These intermediate forms are then processed further to create finished products, …

« Mitigating the Effects of Influencing Factors on Plastic Aging » The aging of plastics is a slow process during which irreversible changes occur within the material. Although aging cannot be prevented, appropriate measures can delay it. This requires an …

Steel is found in nearly every aspect of daily life—houses, bridges, tools, and machines. While  it is not a lightweight metal, steel is relatively easy to shape and provides tremendous structural strength. Pure steel, however, cannot be used directly as …

« Passive and Active Corrosion Protection – We explain the differences » Passiver und aktiver Korrosionsschutz umfasst alle technischen Maßnahmen, die dazu dienen, Werkstoffe vor der Zerstörung durch Umgebungseinflüsse zu schützen. Der Sauerstoff und die Feuchtigkeit in der Atmosphäre setzen …

The term “emulsion splitting” encompasses various methods applied in wastewater treatment. Emulsions are mixtures of liquids that do not dissolve into each other. Emulsifiers are necessary to create a stable emulsion. When it becomes necessary to separate the liquids, for …

« Overview of Phosphating Processes » Phosphating refers to surface treatment processes that create specific protective layers on metal surfaces made of iron, zinc, or manganese. These layers are electrically insulating and contribute to corrosion protection, improved paint adhesion, or …

« Proper Disposal of Used Coolants » Metalworking relies heavily on the use of coolants. These cooling lubricants prevent tools from overheating and help remove debris from the work area. Even with proper maintenance, coolants eventually lose their effectiveness and …
