Energy sector: oil and gas

In the energy sector, Silmax has been working for over twenty years, proposing standard and mostly special solutions, according to its customers’ requirements. Our tools are particularly well-performing when used for machining – among other things – especially turbine rotors (slots and blade hub), blades (blade foot and complex shape machining), impellers, pumps, compressors. The demand for products in the oil and gas sector will always be growing in the next years. To build these components, it will be essential to offer high-quality products, which will have to meet resistance and durability requirements, even in difficult environments, harder than those of other industrial sectors. Therefore, metallic materials are employed (stainless steels, titanium alloys, magnesium alloys, high-alloy steels, heat-resistant alloys) and continually developed ceramic materials.
