It’s easy to talk about quality in abstract terms. However, actually achieving quality concretely is often difficult. That’s why we need to provide a concrete example of how Cfg Srl works hard every day to involve workers and users in the best possible experience. Cfg Srl’s objective is to improve the quality of the product and its production, because the first step a company takes is the one that always leads to improvement.
One example is the mechanical characteristics of steel. It’s essential to know which characteristics to choose for certain processing. Consider a spring or a shock absorber which are constantly subjected to dynamic or periodic stress, so they have to be made using steel with high endurance strength.
This means that we need to use an excellent steel with high carbon content. On the other hand, bearings or brake pads need materials with high frictional resistance. In this case, sintered materials are the best solution.
To understand why finding the right material is fundamental before launching production, let’s list steel’s most important proprieties: great deformability and hardness, good tensile strength and tensile yield strength, good thermal conductivity, and resistance to corrosion (for stainless steel).
However, improving one specific mechanical property may worsen other properties. For example, if we decide to increase hardness, we may decrease mechanical and wear resistance, resilience and fatigue resistance. We can precisely determine the properties of a steel product with the support of expert suppliers, who guide and advise their clients according to their specific needs.
It is essential to understand and precisely control the properties of materials when manufacturing chromed tubes and bars, because each grade of steel can provide different solutions during grinding and chroming. Cfg Srl has decided not to content itself with common carbon steels, but to include different steels in production, such as vanadium steel, martensitic and austenitic stainless steels and tempered steels, in order to offer our clients a specific and targeted technical solution. All products of the leader company in the production of chromed tubes and bars are delivered with a certificate summarising their chemical compositions and the results of tests performed on our finished products.
