STOOSS forgings undergo various quality and manufacturing tests. Micrographic and chemical physical examinations, non-destructive and mechanical tests are carried out in the STOOSS laboratories (Hedingen, Switzerland). The test certificates, in combination with the ST-stamp, confirm the perfect quality of the STOOSS forging parts.

Safety and long product life

stooss-schmiedeteile-formgenau.jpg

Forged parts from STOOSS are outstanding because of their:

  • material selected on the strength of its analysis and degree of purity

  • exact shaping

  • ideal degree of forming

  • optimum grain structure

  • minimum allowances, narrow tolerances

  • thermal treatment relevant to the application

Moreover, they offer exceptional advantages:

  • excellent manufacture in respect of surface quality and accuracy of form

  • suitable for processing on CNC

    machines

  • reduction of mechanical processing time, thus saving costs

  • high degree of security against fatigue cracks
