Drawing and extrusion dies require high strength and outstanding wear resistance, dimensional stability and the ability to give an excellent surface finish. Syalon 101 meets these requirements, as well as having excellent thermal shock resistance.
Syalon 101 and Zircalon are firmly established in the resistance welding sector, particularly as location pins for welding captive nuts to body panels in automotive and commercial vehicle assembly. We manufacture a vast range of standard weld pins.
In addition to location pins, we also manufacture a variety of other welding jigs, fixtures, shrouds and nozzles, for orbital welding, tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, metal inert gas (MIG) welding, induction welding and plasma welding.
Syalon 101 welding rollers are used in the forge welding of metal pipes and tubes. The outstanding thermal and mechanical properties of sialon result in reduced welding roll maintenance and improved pipe quality.
