AUTOMOTIVE

Since 2018 we have expanded our business to large Tier Ones and OEMs in the automotive industry. We have a dedicated mechanical processing department and, thanks to our partners, we manage the entire component manufacturing process: from the purchase of the raw material to the final pre-shipment tests to the customer.

We work with all the main aluminum alloys with which we produce, thanks to our partners, the raw parts through HPDC, low pressure casting, shell casting, extrusion and molding which we then machine and test on specific equipment designed in TECNOFOR. We assemble complex systems and carry out the required end-of-line tests.

TRANSFORMATION PROCESSES

Transformation of raw material and production of the casting

Thanks to the interdisciplinary expertise of our Group, we design custom tools both for the construction of our products and for the development of machinery and equipment used to manufacture them. In particular, we specialize in the creation of molds and hydraulic clamping equipment for CNC machines, transfer machines, and lathes. In addition to the main techniques for producing castings through high-pressure die casting, sand casting, gravity casting, and low-pressure casting, we also utilize advanced processes such as investment casting, lost-wax casting, and sintering, ensuring optimal solutions for every production need.

INGOT SUPPLY

In the automotive sector, TECNOFOR directly manages the procurement of metal ingots to ensure the production of high-quality components, such as engine blocks, cylinder heads and other critical elements. Direct supplier selection ensures uniform and strong alloys, which are critical to meeting the high performance required. This approach eliminates intermediaries, reduces costs and allows you to respond flexibly to production needs, improving efficiency and sustainability.

High pressure die casting is an industrial process used to produce precision metal components, particularly suitable for the automotive sector due to its ability to create lightweight and resistant parts with high dimensional accuracy. Among the main applications are: engine blocks, cylinder heads, transmission and gearbox cases, suspension and steering system components, structural elements such as engine mounts and crossmembers, as well as aesthetic parts such as grilles and handles. This process makes it possible to reduce the weight of vehicles, improve energy efficiency and produce complex components with high corrosion resistance.

Low pressure die casting is a process used in the automotive sector to produce metal components, especially in aluminum alloys, which require precision and high quality (such as the absence of porosity defects). This method differs from traditional die casting by the use of lower pressures and more precise control of the metal flow.

Sand casting is a versatile process used in the automotive industry to make complex components in aluminum, steel, and brass. It allows you to create durable and customized parts, such as engine blocks, cylinder heads and suspension arms. Aluminium is chosen for its lightness and heat dissipation, steel for mechanical strength and brass for precision and anti-corrosion. Although it requires refinement, it is essential for producing reliable and high-performance parts at a low cost.

Shell casting, or “gravity die casting”, is a technique used in the automotive industry for the production of aluminum components. In this process, molten metal is poured by gravity into a permanent mold, called a “shell,” generally made of steel or cast iron. This technique is ideal for the production of parts with a good surface finish and superior mechanical properties, and is used for medium-production components with relatively simple geometries compared to die casting. Gravity reduces the risk of gas inclusions and porosity compared to other casting methods.

BAR SUPPLY

For the automotive industry, TECNOFOR purchases metal bars directly from manufacturers, securing materials with precise dimensional tolerances, essential for precision mechanical components such as shafts, supports and gears. This choice reduces waste and improves production yield, while ensuring high quality standards to meet the technical challenges of the sector. Direct procurement also makes it possible to quickly manage the demands of a dynamic and competitive market.

Hot forging is a critical process in the automotive industry for the production of high-performance metal components, such as body parts, frames, supports, and structural elements. In this process, the metal is heated to high temperatures, becoming plastic, and then molded into a mold with the application of pressure. This makes it possible to obtain parts with superior mechanical resistance, a better ability to absorb energy in the event of impacts and a longer service life. Hot forging is particularly suitable for materials such as high-strength steel, which is widely used in the automotive industry for components that require strength and safety. In addition, the process allows for complex shapes with tight tolerances, making it ideal for mass production of structural components that are critical to vehicle safety and reliability.
