Quality

Our quality management relies on an integrated quality management system conforming to ISO 9001:2015. We are also holders of certificates ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, and P.E.D..

HEAT TREATMENT

Heat treatment is a crucial step in the manufacturing of bronze and brass bushings to enhance their mechanical properties and performance. Our heat treatment processes include:

Annealing: Softening the metal to improve machinability and relieve internal stresses.
Hardening: Increasing the hardness and strength of the bushings by heating and then rapidly cooling the material.
Stress Relieving: Reducing residual stresses induced during machining and forming to ensure dimensional stability and prolong service life.

Surface treatment

Surface treatments are applied to enhance the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and overall performance of the bushings. Our surface treatment processes include:

Plating: Applying a thin layer of protective material, such as nickel or tin, to improve corrosion resistance and reduce friction.
Polishing: Creating a smooth, reflective surface to reduce friction and improve aesthetic appeal.
Coating: Applying specialized coatings to enhance wear resistance and reduce the coefficient of friction.

Machining

Mechanical processing of bushes, rings and cages is done by our advanced machine shop in-house.
Our aim is to deliver ready to fit parts to our customers. Our advanced machine shop contains wide range of CNC centers, turning centers and grinding machines. Precision machining is vital to ensure the bushings, rings and cages meet exact specifications and tolerances.
