Bronze turning

The MAGNET company stands out for the quality of its work in the field of mechanical engineering, providing high precision metalworking services. One of the areas of our activity is bronze turning. Possessing deep experience and skills in working with non-ferrous metals, our operators are able to create precision products of any complexity according to the relevant drawings. We use advanced technologies for processing bronze on a lathe, including providing CNC services. All work is carried out on European-made units, Therefore, the finished products are of different quality.

The metal is supplied to production in the form of an alloy, the main properties of which are determined by the added impurities. Additives determine plasticity, resistance to mechanical stress. Bronze alloys containing more than tin 4% give minimal shrinkage during casting, and finished parts are characterized by high wear resistance. In the same time, bronze without tin is not inferior in quality, having comparable, and sometimes superior physical and mechanical characteristics.

Bronze processing services turn out to be like in foundries, and deformable workpieces. Cast metal is ideal for creating complex shapes, while the deformable metal gives the required ductility for various types of processing. High-precision CNC machines provide perfect precision when working with both types of metals, allowing us to achieve the highest quality of finished products. Magnet also processes polycomponent bronze alloys:

• Beryllium bronze - famous for its elasticity and heat resistance, maintains characteristics at low temperatures.
• Aluminum - valued for its low density, light weight and chemical resistance.
• Silicon - notable for its non-magnetic nature and lack of sparking upon impact.
• Lead - has a low coefficient of friction and resistance to thermal and shock loads.

Technology bronze turning on the CNC machine provides the correct choice of cutting fluid, because the surface of bronze workpieces often contains pores, which, if too much lubricant is used, can fill up, increasing the load on the cutter and reducing the quality of work. Therefore, we resort to the use of vacuum impregnations, which allow you to control the filling of pores to 20% their total volume. To obtain the desired contour on the surface of the part, our company uses the following tools::

• Carbide cutters with wide cutting edges for a wide feed range.
• Tungsten Carbide Cutters, ideal for shallow cuts and finishing work on the surface of parts.

The Magnet company offers bronze processing services using automatic mode on modern CNC machines. This process does not require the operator's manual skill to control the cutter, instead, the key role is played by the correct choice of technology and the preparation of precise technical specifications for the machine.

The staff carries out full control of the condition of the cutter during operation, which helps prevent the appearance of defective products when bronze turning. Thanks to the presence of our own production facilities, we offer services at competitive prices, while guaranteeing high quality of the final product. Each manufactured product is accompanied by appropriate documentation. And if the client needs, the engineering department is ready to assist in the development of individual drawings.
