TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) 141 welding is a process in which an electric arc burns between a non-consumable tungsten electrode and the material being welded. An argon gas shield protects the weld from oxidation. Ideal for precision work and welding stainless steel and aluminum.
TIG 135 is a method of welding with a consumable electrode in an active gas shield (MAG). It is a popular method in the automotive industry and steel constructions. Allows fast and efficient welding of carbon steel and stainless steel.
TIG 111 is manual metal arc welding (MMA). It is a versatile method usable in various conditions, even outdoors. Ideal for welding thicker steel components and structural repairs.
Milling is a machining process where the cutting tool rotates around its own axis while the material moves relative to it. It enables precise shaping of flat surfaces and complex three-dimensional forms.
Turning is a machining process where the workpiece rotates around its axis and the cutting tool moves along the surface. Ideal for creating cylindrical and conical parts.
Steel cutting can be performed by various methods such as laser cutting, plasma cutting, waterjet cutting, and mechanical cutting. Each method ensures precise and clean edges suitable for different applications.
Grinding is a key steel processing method that produces a smooth, even, and aesthetic surface. Depending on technical and aesthetic requirements, we use various grinding methods that provide optimal quality and durability of products.
Sandblasting, also known as abrasive blasting, involves directing a stream of abrasive material (usually sand) under high pressure onto the steel surface. This process removes rust, paint, contaminants, and other unwanted coatings, leaving a clean and rough surface ideal for further processing such as painting or galvanizing.
Shot blasting is similar to sandblasting but uses metal shots instead of sand. This process is more aggressive and effective in removing tough contaminants and preparing surfaces for painting or coating. Shot blasting also hardens the steel surface, increasing its resistance to mechanical damage.
Electropolishing is an electrochemical process that smooths and polishes metal surfaces. During the process, the steel is immersed in an electrolytic bath, and electric current removes microscopic irregularities, leaving a shiny, contaminant-free surface. Electropolishing is especially effective in improving corrosion resistance and aesthetics of stainless steel products.
Belt grinding uses a continuous abrasive belt that moves in a closed loop, grinding the steel surface. This method is effective for processing large flat surfaces and removing significant irregularities and surface defects.
Disc grinding uses a rotating abrasive disc that presses against the steel surface, removing excess material and smoothing it. This method is used for both flat and curved surfaces.
Each grinding method offers unique benefits and is selected based on specific project requirements, material type, and desired final result. At Leicht Group, we tailor our grinding techniques to client needs to ensure the highest quality and durability.
Bending and rolling are processes that shape steel into specific forms and curves. Bending involves bending sheet metal or profiles at a set angle, while rolling forms sheets into cylindrical or conical shapes.
Galvanizing, also known as zinc coating, is the process of applying a thin layer of zinc to the steel surface to protect against corrosion. Hot-dip galvanizing and electro-galvanizing are the most common methods.
Powder coating involves applying powder paint to the surface of a component, which is then cured at high temperatures. This process provides a durable and damage-resistant protective coating.
Wet painting is a traditional method of applying paint using brushes, rollers, or spraying. It is used to protect against corrosion and give steel elements an aesthetic appearance.
Phosphating is a chemical process that applies a phosphate layer to the steel surface. The resulting coating increases corrosion resistance and improves paint and coating adhesion.
Anodizing is an electrochemical process mainly used for aluminum but also some steel alloys. It creates a protective oxide layer on the metal surface, increasing corrosion and wear resistance.
Carbon steel, also known as black steel, is one of the most commonly used materials in industry. It is characterized by high strength and plasticity. Processing methods include welding, cutting, milling, and turning. Protection methods include galvanizing, powder coating, and wet painting.
Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant due to its chromium content. It is used in the food, chemical, and medical industries. Processing methods include TIG welding, laser cutting, milling, and turning. Protection methods include polishing and anodizing.
Aluminum is a lightweight and corrosion-resistant material commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and construction industries. Processing methods include TIG welding, laser cutting, milling, and turning. Protection methods include anodizing and powder coating.
Plastics such as Teflon, plastic, polyethylene, and polypropylene are used across many industries due to their flexibility and chemical resistance. Processing methods include cutting, milling, and turning. Protection methods include UV stabilizers and protective coatings.
Titanium is lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant, often used in aerospace, medical, and chemical industries. Processing methods include TIG welding, laser cutting, milling, and turning. Protection methods include anodizing and powder coating.
