Metal Forming Applications of Advanced Ceramics
International Syalons manufacture a range of sialon and zirconia components for various metal forming applications. These include:
- Weld Location Pins
- Syalon 101 and Zircalon are firmly established in the resistance welding sector, particularly as weld location pins for welding captive nuts to body panels.
- Welding Jigs and Fixtures
- In addition to weld location pins, we also manufacture a variety of other jigs, fixtures, shrouds and nozzles, which for example may be used in orbital welding, tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, metal inert gas (MIG) welding, induction welding and plasma welding.
- Welding Rolls
- Syalon 101 welding rolls 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.
- Extrusion Dies
- Syalon 101 performs excellently as an extrusion and drawing die.
- Cutting Tips
- The latest generation Syalon 101 and Syalon 050 cutting tips are used for high speed milling of cast iron.
