Anti-Friction Overlay Technologies

At the core of our production process, the application of antifriction alloys on oil-film sliding bearings is a distinctive expertise, developed and refined through years of experience in the mechanical engineering sector. Our company is equipped to apply all lead-free white metal alloys, in full compliance with environmental regulations and the technical specifications required by major rotating machinery manufacturers.
To ensure maximum precision and repeatability, we operate a dedicated machine fleet for overlay application, designed to handle complex geometries and tight tolerances. Our equipment allows for accurate control of thermal and mechanical parameters during the melting and solidification phases, ensuring optimal adhesion between the substrate and the deposited alloy.
Each machine is configured to work on components of various sizes and materials, with advanced handling and positioning systems that adapt the process to the specific features of each job. Operational flexibility, combined with the expertise of our technical staff, enables us to manage even the most demanding applications while maintaining high quality and productivity standards.
