S+C Special Products
Since 1879, the name Schmidt + Clemens has been synonymous for highest quality in stainless steel.From this time on, the "Made by S+C" signet has been a guarantee of outstanding components and solutions made of high-quality steels and alloys.
Our “Special Products” business ranges from centrifugally cast tubes up to semi-finished products and cover even ready-to-install components. Whether corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant or wear-resistant, our experts always find the right solution to ensure that your products perform to the desired maximum performance.
Our manufacturing process begins with centrifugal casting over static casting and investment casting and covers even forging. All our products are of course solely made of high-quality stainless steels and alloys. Welded constructions, if necessary assembled from components of different manufacturing processes, are also a specialty of S+C.
This versatility is unique in the stainless steel industry and offers our customers the required solutions from a single source.
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.
- External Ø: 30 mm – 2,000 mm
- Length: 30 mm – 4,500 mm
- Width: 30 mm – 2,000 mm
- Height: 1,700 mm
- Casting weight: 5,600 kgs
- Finished weight: 3,000 kgs
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.
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.
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.
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).
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 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.
