Our aim is to provide a clear view of the choice of BIMETALL materials, highlighting their essential characteristics and their application in industry. This blog is aimed at those interested in having a global view of the industrial materials that contribute to the quality and efficiency of BIMETALL.

In the field of manufacturing, engineering, turning and machining, materials play a crucial role in creating precise and durable components. The choice of suitable materials is essential to guarantee quality and efficiency in these processes. In this article, we will dive into the prominent materials, such as aluminum, steel, stainless steel, bronze, brass, and delrin, used in turning and machining, highlighting their distinctive characteristics and benefits.

It is important to emphasize that the specific characteristics may vary according to the alloy of each material.

Aluminium: lightness and versatility

Aluminum stands out for its lightness and versatility in turning and machining. It offers excellent machinability and strength, making it a preferred choice for components that require low density and durability.

Steel: durability, tenacity

Allows to withstand heavy loads and adverse conditions. In addition, it is malleable, which allows it to be shaped into various shapes. Some types of steel, such as stainless, are resistant to corrosion, and in general, steel is a good thermal and electrical conductor. Its recyclability, affordability and versatility make it a widely used material in various industries. In addition, it exhibits high tensile strength and is easy to manufacture, which contributes to its dominant presence in construction, manufacturing and other applications.

Stainless steel: durability and resistance

Stainless steels are fundamental in applications that demand durability and resistance. These steel alloys provide a unique combination of machinability, being essential in various turning and machining processes. Stainless steel is widely used for the manufacture of machine parts
pharmaceutical and food is the material par excellence in these areas.

Bronze: Hardness and resistance

Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin that is typically used in machining because of its outstanding characteristics. Bronze is easily machinable, allowing the creation of precise pieces through cutting, turning and milling techniques. It has an adequate hardness, which gives it resistance to use and durability, as well as being resistant to corrosion, ensuring the durability of the parts in various environments.

Brass: Cutting speed and cooling

It is common in the manufacture of electronic components, plumbing fixtures, decorative parts and a variety of applications where precision and surface quality are crucial.

Technical plastics

It is used in applications where low friction and high strength are needed, being a valuable choice in turning and machining.

At BIMETALL, we are committed to manufacturing excellence and continuously strive to exceed expectations.

The careful choice of materials is fundamental in the turning and machining processes, the manufacture of rollers, metal parts, prototypes, components etc… The versatility of these materials contributes to the continued progress in the industry, guaranteeing final products that meet the highest standards.
