Steel Industry
Insulating and wear-resistant components as a technical alternative to metal
The steel industry is one of the most demanding sectors in terms of mechanical strength, wear, and thermal stress.
Thanks to the machining of advanced engineering polymers, Tecno Plastic is able to manufacture components that replace metal in handling and storage lines—particularly in the final stages of production, where it is essential to prevent scratches or damage to finished steel products.
Problems solved in the steel industry
- Accelerated wear of metal components in contact with pipes or abrasive materials
- Breakage caused by thermal shock and vibration
- Excessive weight of structural components limiting speed and precision
- Surface damage to stainless steel during handling
Advantages of engineering polymers in steel environments
- High resistance to temperatures and continuous wear
- Excellent mechanical properties even under dynamic loads
- Natural thermal insulation → improved safety for operators and products
- Reduced maintenance costs and plant downtime
- Protection of finished products from impact, scratching, or deformation
Recommended materials
- PA6G / PA6G + MoS₂ / PA6G + Oil / PA66 + GF – Structural strength and wear-resistant properties
- PEEK – High-temperature resistance, high rigidity, and dimensional stability
- PE / PP / PTFE – Lightweight, excellent sliding properties, and chemical resistance
Typical applications
- Gears and cams for linear or rotary handling systems
- Rollers, bushings, and bearings for conveyors and belts
- Guides, pushers, and gibs for storage and movement of bars and pipes
- Structural components for mobile or dynamic supports
