01Melting & Casting
Silver and copper alloys are melted and cast in-house under controlled conditions, giving us full command of chemistry and ingot quality from the very first step.
2 × 20 kW resistance melting furnaces
Our Capabilities
An integrated process, all under one roof
We control every stage of contact manufacture — from melting raw silver through to recovering it from scrap. That means fewer hand-offs, tighter quality control, and full traceability of the material you receive.
01
02Metal Extrusion
Extrusion shapes silver alloys, graphite tips and anodes into dense, uniform profiles, maximising material density and consistency.
600 T horizontal & 400 T vertical presses
03Hot & Cold Rolling
Hot and cold rolling convert cast stock into precise sheet and coil, with controlled thickness and temper for downstream forming.
4 × 2-Hi rolling mills
04Wire Drawing
Cast and rolled stock is drawn down to precise contact-wire diameters, ready for forming into rivets, tips and profiles with consistent dimensions.
40 ft draw bench + 2 bull-block machines
05Furnace Brazing
Controlled-atmosphere furnace brazing joins contact tips to carriers with strong, repeatable bonds — the foundation of our brazed assemblies.
Mesh-belt brazing furnace + torch station
06Diffusion Bonding
Solid-state diffusion bonding fuses silver contact faces to copper carriers atom-to-atom — joining dissimilar metals with no filler — producing the strong, low-resistance interface in our overlay buttons.
Special-purpose machines, no filler metal
07Ag-C Special Purpose Machining
Dedicated machining for silver-graphite components handles this specialised material to tight tolerances without compromising its properties.
Purpose-built SPMs for silver-graphite
08Dedicated Tool Room
An in-house tool room gives us fast tooling turnaround and tight control over die and fixture quality, so custom jobs move quickly from drawing to production.
Turning, milling, welding, wire-cut, heat treatment
09Chemical Testing
Our laboratory verifies silver purity and alloy composition on every batch, so the material that leaves our floor matches the specification exactly.
ASTM / ISO methods, in-house
10Metallurgical Testing
Microstructure, hardness and bond quality are assessed to confirm the right grain structure and oxide distribution for reliable switching performance.
Micro-Vickers, microscopy & conductivity
11Silver Recovery
In-house silver recovery reclaims precious metal from process scrap, protecting your costs and closing the loop on material traceability.
