Nitrided Cylinders

We offer a wide range of nitrided cylinders.

[ 02 ]
Hardened Cylinders

We offer a wide range of hardened cylinders for small diameters.

Bimetallic Cylinders

Top grade of our solutions and commenly used are our bimetallic cylinders.

The advantage of our bimetallic alloys

The advantage of our bimetallic alloys is the high and homogeneous hardness throughout the whole layer thickness which ranges from 1.5 to 2 mm thickness. The lifetime increase of the bimetallic cylinder against a nitrided cylinder may exceed 12 times or more. The price-quality-lifetime ratio is therefore very beneficial for the bimetallic cylinder. We have five different alloy solutions listed in the table below. We qualified the quality of the different alloys according abrasion and or corrosion resistance to enable a quick selection.

The advantage of our nitrided and hardened cylinders

The nitrided cylinder obtains its wear resistance from a thin hard top layer of 0.3-0.4 mm applied by gas treatment, which is sufficient for standard polymers without fillers and has a good lifetime price ratio. For specific cases with small diameters, hardened materials can also be used.
