Wallwork Showcase Thermal Processing and Hard Coatings - Advanced Engineering Show Booth K133
Surface Engineering – Wallwork Showcase Thermal Processing and Hard Coatings
Advanced Engineering Show Booth K133
The Wallwork Group will showcase their extensive services for heat treatment, micro fine surface coatings, vacuum brazing and research and development capabilities at the Advanced Engineering Show. The company will be emphasising service to clients, particularly the rapid turnaround in processing components, in keeping with aerospace, motorsport and engineering demands for lean and just-in-time production.
“The major challenge for all engineering manufacturers is to improve component and business performance. We support these objectives with a range of heat treatment and coating processes to modify the surface characteristics of components and tools to enhance service life and performance. To back this up we have a world class R&D facility and a dedicated logistics operation able to collect and return components quickly so clients can maintain production momentum,” explained sales and marketing director Simeon Collins.
Wallwork operate a national service from three sites, Manchester, Birmingham and Cambridge. This places them close to major aerospace, engineering and motorsport centres and good proximity to leading universities and research establishments. Facilities are accredited by Nadcap, aerospace majors such as BAE Systems, Airbus, Rolls Royce and many other leading manufacturers.
Carbon coatings include the full spectrum of finishes from highly lubricious graphitic films to diamond coating with extreme hardness. Diamond coating is particularly applicable to tools used in drilling and cutting composites in aerospace and motorsport/automotive industries. Conventionally hardened tools produce ragged edged cuts causing secondary damage and weakening of the material. Diamond coated tools cut cleanly and last longer. Fewer stoppages for tool changes give higher quality yield and productivity to lower unit cost.
The company also offer a full range of traditional vacuum, sealed quench and salt bath heat treatment processes. These permit the metal hardening of engineering components to improve their performance and cost effectiveness.
Wallwork has greatly extended its capability in bespoke and volume vacuum brazed components, combining high strength joints with the ductility to cope with vibration and stress. These properties arise from brazing under high vacuum eliminating surface oxidation so that materials are more effectively bonded. Having a variety of vacuum furnaces available to support this process, the company is able to scale up from development work to volume production.
