Machining on Duplex Stainless Steel
Torneria Meccanica SRL, a point of reference for over 50 years for mechanical machining of duplex stainless steel and steel with high levels of efficiency and reliability.
Steel machining is one of our specializations, thanks to our expertise and the use of advanced technologies. We are able to offer tailor-made solutions for the production of components intended for various industrial sectors, such as the automotive, aeronautics, chemical industry and energy.
Difference between duplex stainless steel and duplex stainless steel are two types of metallic materials with different properties and characteristics. Below are the main differences between the two:
- Chemical Composition: Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, while duplex stainless steel is a type of stainless steel that contains iron, carbon, chromium, and nickel, as well as other elements such as molybdenum and nitrogen. The presence of chromium gives duplex stainless steel its resistance to corrosion.
- Crystalline structure: Steel generally has a ferritic or pearlitic crystalline structure depending on the carbon content, while duplex stainless steel is characterized by a biphasic structure composed of austenite and ferrite in almost equal proportions.
- Corrosion Resistance: Duplex stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance compared to carbon steel. This is due to the presence of chromium in the chemical composition of duplex stainless steel, which forms a protective layer of chromium oxide on the surface of the material, preventing corrosion.
Among the machining operations on duplex stainless steel, there is milling to create highly precise and resistant mechanical components and turning to obtain complex shapes and geometries on mechanical components. Our company uses the latest generation CNC machinery to ensure maximum precision and quality in manufacturing. Furthermore, thanks to our experience in the machining of this material, we are able to minimize the deformations and residual stresses that can occur during the milling process.
Choosing Mechanical Turning for turning and milling steel and compounds such as steel fiber means relying on an expert and competent partner, able to guarantee the highest quality and precision in the creation of your mechanical components.
