RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: A WIDE RANGE OF OPPORTUNITIES

Our motto : innovation

• To propose a renewed offer to better meet new industry requirements
• To improve our competitiveness, and the one of our customer, and conquer new market
• To answer to the increasing demand from our customer looking for innovative solutions

Examples of achievements:

• Evaluation of steel and cast iron grades resistant against cutting and development of a metal matrix composite with ceramic reinforcements
• Adjusting the heat treatment of a low alloy steel to improve its mechanical properties

Technical support: corrosion problems on parts made of a 304-type stainless steel

1/ Understanding the origin of the degradation: bibliographic survey and corrosion products analysis.

2/ Supposed mechanism validated by laboratory experiments

3/ Solutions proposed to overcome this problem

We can carry out short-term or long-term projects, collaborative or not, to meet your exact requirements or needs.

Selection of the most adapted steel or cast iron grade or development of a new grade

• Search for the grade that best meet the service environment requirements and/or restrictions needed by the customers
• If necessary: develop a new grade with improved efficiency
• Grade's ajustment to a new design or process

Validate the grade choice by laboratory or real size experiments.
