The use of the word “steel” can be ambiguous, as it can refer to many different types and qualities of steel. At our company, we use only the highest quality European steels that are carefully selected and blended for high-demand applications. To ensure the highest levels of hardness and wear resistance, the majority of our steels are heattreated by leading Italian professionals. We understand that the selection of the best raw materials is critical for achieving optimal performance and longevity of our products.
Below, a representation of our mainly used steels and alloys, together with some high performance thermopolymers and fluoropolymers, used for aggressive chemicals and harsh environments.
| Reference | Description |
| R-02 | High performance HSS alloyed with tungsten, vanadium and chromium. Heat treated |
| I-12 | Stainless steel high in chromium, with molybdenum and vanadium. Rust and acid – proof steel. Heat treated |
| CI | Cast iron, nickel coated |
| I-42 | Cr-Ni-Cu hard stainless steel |
| I-04 | Molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel—AS316L |
| I-09 | Chromium molybdenum nitriding steel |
| S-20 | Nickel-iron-chromium austenitic alloy—Alloy 20 |
| S-S3 | Cobalt base alloy—Stellite 3 |
| S-C276 | Acid resistant nickel alloy—Hastelloy C276 |
| PEEK PVX | High performance PEEK with 10% PTFE, graphite and carbon fibers. Generally used for bearings, has superb tribological performances |
| PEEK CF30 | PEEK 30% carbon fiber filled. Extremely stable and rigid. Generally used for gears |
| GFPTFE | 25% fiber – glass filled PTFE. Extremely good chemical resistance, poor wear resistance |
| Carbon | Carbon graphite compound. Used for bushings and wearplates for high temperatures |

Sometimes, our treated steel itself is not enough: we can offer a variety of high performance coatings according to the specific application. Here are some:
MVV NGuard – This specialized surface treatment is carefully controlled to achieve a surface hardness exceeding 1000HV. It offers excellent performance on stainless steels and penetrates the substrate to a depth of approximately two cents. Designed for long-lasting durability.
DLC – An enhanced carbon coating similar to diamond, providing improved load resistance. The metal-based layer (chromium nitride) delivers the required surface hardness and enhances the resilience of the carbon coating, resulting in a protective “crust” with a thickness of around 2 microns.
CHROME PLATING – Applied to reduce friction, enhance durability by improving abrasion tolerance and wear resistance. It also minimizes issues like galling or seizing of parts and expands chemical inertness, including resistance to oxidation. Additionally, it can be used as a bulking material for worn parts, restoring their original dimensions. Chrome plating measures between 65 and 69 HRC, depending on the substrate.
CHROME NITRIDE (CrN) – A chemical compound consisting of chromium and nitrogen, with the formula CrN. It possesses exceptional hardness and exhibits remarkable resistance to corrosion. CrN is utilized as a coating material for corrosion resistance and finds applications in metal forming and plastic molding processes.
