Webinar | February 2nd machine-building-food-featured

Material choices for engineered components​ based on castings (reprise)

ELCEE produces industrial components of various materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminium, iron and plastics. Depending on the production process, think of sand casting, shell moulding or forging, and the specific product requirements, a choice of material has to be made. From simple cast iron to high-quality alloys that make your materials and production parts resistant to high loads, wear and tear or heat.
In this webinar we discuss the pros and cons of various material properties. We give you the tools you need to make the right choice of material for your component. If you are interested in technical details on which to base the choice of material for your component, this webinar is of interest to you.

Interesting for: engineers, project managers, product managers, etc.

This webinar is a reprise. The content of this webinar has been broadcasted at December 8th as well.
Webinar | January 26th Compilation of various plain bearings

How to choose the right plain bearing (reprise)

In this webinar Peter Slijkhuis, International sales director of ELCEE, informs you about the most important features that need to be your basis on how to choose the best plain bearing for your application. The impact of different materials, environmental influences and application requirements are addressed.

Interesting for: engineers, product managers, project leaders and purchasers etc.

This webinar is a reprise. The content of this webinar has been broadcasted at May 12th as well.
Webinar | January 19th Man in foundry producing castings of various materials

When to use casting (reprise)

Casting is a cost-saving technique. It reduces labour costs and requires no or less welding and machining. Advanced castings combine exceptional strength with low weight and high formability. The weight of the product can significantly be reduced and cast parts are uniform products. During this webinar we inform you about the advantages of castings which will help you choosing the right production process for your industrial components.

Interesting for: purchasers, engineers, product managers

This webinar is a reprise. The content of this webinar has been broadcasted at May 7th as well.
Webinar | December 15th Man who is creating engineered components on the computer

How to optimise costs in engineering components? (reprise)

Casting and forging are techniques to produce an end product in as few steps as possible. This makes it cost-saving techniques; labour costs can be reduced and no or less welding and machining is required. Because each engineered component has its own specifications and requirements, it is not possible simply to pull a trick in order to save costs. After all, this always comes at the expense of quality. During this webinar we set out multiple possibilities to optimise costs from your engineered components while stick to the key requirements.

Webinar | December 1st Man who is forging a product

Forgings - technical specifications

Forging is a manufacturing process that involves the shaping of metal using localised compressive forces. The tolerances of steel forgings and the several criteria are decisive for a high-quality product. During this webinar we zoom in to technical specifications concerning hot forging. Choice of equipment, shape complexity, materials, tolerances and cost drivers. If you are looking for an inspiring example in which technical details are discussed, then this webinar is interesting for you.
Webinar | November 24th Sintered product with limited design freedom and mechanical properties

How to optimise sintered products (reprise)

Next to casting and forging, sintering is a very unique production process to create engineered components. Not all product badges can be produced using sintering. During this webinar we inform you about the sintering technology, we explain advantages and disadvantages of the production method and we give practical guidance on how to optimise your sintered components.
Webinar | November 17th Drilling platform

Casting in Offshore

The offshore industry puts extreme demands on the level of industrial components; castings, forgings and welded constructions. In this webinar we discuss the possibilities of casting in the offshore industry. What do you have to pay extra attention to? For example, forces, wear and tear, influences of salt water, etc. But also, what are the advantages of different production techniques used in the manufacturing of the products. We show examples of our previous work in the offshore industry, which can inspire you in the optimisation of your industrial components.

Webinar | November 10th ELCEE self lubricated bronze plain bearings

Self lubricated bronze plain bearings

Metallic plain bearings are subject to constant friction between shaft and plain bearing. This can be influenced by variation of material combinations or the addition of lubricants such as grease and oil or solid lubricants such as graphite, PTFE and MoS2. The self lubricating systems operate without the addition of grease and/or oil. This has great advantages, such as no adhesion of dirt, no contamination by the lubricant, no maintenance interval, no maintenance costs. In this webinar we will elaborate on self lubricate bronze bearings. We discuss a customer case with which we explain concrete advantages of this type of plain bearing.

Webinar | November 3rd Investment casting example (silica sol)

Investment casting | silica sol & water glass casting​ (reprise)

In this webinar we explain the process of investment casting. We especially instruct about the difference between the silica sol process and water glass process. After this webinar you know the advantages of the casting techniques and when to use them to optimise your components.
Webinar | October 27th Composite bearings in ship propulsion systems ELCEE webinar

Composite bearings in ship propulsion systems

Propeller and rudder shaft bearings are important components for the propulsion of a ship. The shipbuilding industry must continue to meet ever-increasing operational efficiency and improved safety performance. In order to reduce costs and extend the service period between maintenance intervals, components, including plain bearings, need to be optimised. In this webinar we discuss the opportunities of composite bearings in the shipbuilding industry.
Webinar | October 20th Equipment manufacturing

Pressure related parts: castings & forgings
