Alpha range of high-speed flying shears for precision cutting of stainless steel tube and high tensile materials.

The Timcal Rollit ® DF range comprises forging lubricants, used to improve metal flow and yield in the forging industry, increase tool life and quality, and reduce rejects. These forging lubricants are based on the high grade Timcal graphite and ecologically safe inorganic and/or organic additives and water.

Thermatool specialises in providing innovative and cost effective solutions to tube and pipe producers worldwide. With an installed base of more than 1,000 solid- state HF welders, Thermatool has more than 50 years’ experience in the continuous high-speed production of quality tube and pipe from 8mm to 24" in diameter. Visitors to the company’s stand will see the latest range of Thermatool CFI solid-state HF welders, which offer weld power from 50kW up to 1,500kW. Alongside the welders will be the latest VIP seam normalising, full body heating and spiral seam annealing systems, providing total systems capability. technology enables welding frequency to be varied at the operator’s console in 1kHz increments from 150 to 400kHz. The combined effects of weld power, frequency, vee length, impeder function and wall thickness are displayed on the operator’s console in a way that is both easy to read and simple to operate. This development provides the mill operator with the knowledge of their exact position in the weld process window. Consequently, the operator can accurately and repeatedly achieve the optimum weld HAZ. Once this is determined, it can be electronically stored and later retrieved. The latest die-set will also be on the stand, designed to operate at the heart of the Thermatool’s HAZControl

TIS Srl Italy

Part of the HMF Group, Timcal Graphite & Carbon is a specialist in the manufacture of high-grade graphite and carbon powders. The company also has expertise in the development and end-user application of lubricants and scale treatment agents for hot metal forming processes. These activities fall into three categories: products, application equipment and technical services, collectively forming Timcal Rollit ® technologies. Designed for mandrel bar lubrication, the Timcal Rollit ® DS and DP product lines are designed to withstand high pressures, temperatures and friction during the rolling process. Offering other ecological benefits, mandrel bar lubricants are based on high-grade Timcal graphite, selected organic and inorganic additives and water. They can be supplied in either powder or liquid form. The Timcal Rollit ® EZ product line is used for treating scale in shell interiors and/or for lubricating shell. The product is supplied in powder form, based on mixtures of Timcal graphite and special organic and inorganic salts.
