Production
State-of-the-art manufacturing for the most demanding applicationsOur production stands for exceptional quality, cutting-edge technology, and a remarkable range of capabilities designed to meet the diverse needs of our customers. At the core of our operations is the processing of high-alloy stainless steels – materials developed specifically for use under extreme conditions. These alloys offer outstanding performance, whether exposed to extreme temperatures or aggressive corrosive environments.
S+C – The perfect choice for demanding applications
Our portfolio includes a wide variety of casting processes that ensure both precision and flexibility. From centrifugal casting to static casting and investment casting, we manufacture high-precision components built to withstand the toughest demands. Our offering is further enhanced by forged components, known for their exceptional strength and durability.
Centrifugal casting processes
Vertical and horizontal centrifugal casting
The centrifugal casting process, perfected by S+C for stainless steels, is nowadays the first choice for the production of hollow, rotationally symmetrical components, regardless of whether they are cylindrical or conical in shape. The directional solidification, with a uniformly distributed grain structure, typical for this casting process, enables workpieces whose technological properties are clearly superior to products made by other manufacturing processes. In a particular noteworthy is the good dimensional stability as well as the excellent creep resistance in the high-temperature range.
Static casting process
For freedom of design
The static (sand) casting process is best suited for the production of parts with complex geometries, possibly with cavities and different cross-sections. In this process, there are hardly any limits to the freedom of design. To ensure best castability, we rely on digital 3-D solidification simulation.
We use the latest FEA technology in order to achieve the best possible result or, if necessary or desired, to make proposals on how to optimize the component with modifications, or to achieve cost savings.
Investment casting process
For smaller and complex castings
Stainless steel castings in sizes up to 500 mm length and 45 kgs (80 kgs)* of weight can be manufactured optimally by using the investment casting process. This process enable very precise and clearly shaped parts with high dimensional accuracy and good surface quality. Due to their high precision, investment castings are usually ready or almost ready for installation in the as-cast condition but we can also supply you pre-machined or finish-machined investment castings, and this at an exceptionally good value for money.
Forgings
For high mechanical load capacity and component safety
Forged parts have always been used for mechanical engineering and plant construction. In particular, those components, which transmit forces and movements and require a high degree of safety, are preferably made from forgings. For the pump and valve industry, our portfolio includes a variety of special stainless steels such as martensitic and duplex steels which were partly specially developed for this purpose.
We will find the best possible solution for your application from our scope of supply of forged stainless steels.
Uncompromising quality in every piece
State-of-the-art manufacturing for the most demanding applicationsIn addition to our core manufacturing capabilities, we offer a wide range of advanced finishing processes to tailor each product precisely to your requirements. High-precision machining, cutting, and bending, as well as our cutting-edge welding operations, enable fully customized solutions. Every component is produced with utmost care and the latest technology to ensure maximum quality and reliability for our customers.
Our production approach combines innovation, expertise, and sustainability. With this commitment, we create products that are not only high-performing but also forward-thinking – perfectly engineered to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
Mechanical machining
High-precision machining
Our well-equipped machine shop enables a full range of machining operations such as sawing, turning, milling, drilling and deep hole drilling in a particularly wide range of dimensions.
As a systems supplier, we also include external machining methods such as grinding, honing, gear cutting, etc. if this should be required. At S+C, everything comes from a single source.
Heat treatment
For optimum material properties
Heat treatment is often necessary or advisable for achieving the required material properties. Targeted setting of the optimum heat treatment parameters is of great importance, as the component’s performance is particularly depending on them. State-of-the-art heat treatment furnaces and other specialized plants are available for this purpose.
Welding Services
Fabrication, repair and joint welding
We are able to carry out all fabrication, repair and joint welding on our components or get it done under our control. TÜV Rheinland confirms that we understand our business. "Made by S+C" also means that our welding engineers select the most suitable welding method for you. Our welding methods include MIG, MAG, manual arc welding, laser welding (subcontract) and electron beam welding (subcontract).
