We offer you the advantage of our long experience in materials, tooth definition and heat treatments: - Carbon steel, alloy steel - Aggressive teeth - Single or multiple heat treatment - Anti-wear coating (tungsten carbide) - Parts reinforced by tooth forging Materials: For your balers and loader wagon knives, our steel meets the strictest requirements, notably, in terms of the wear-resistance and the cutting ability. According to your criteria or specifications, we use carbon steel or alloy steel. The main elements of alloy are chromium, vanadium, manganese and boron. Thanks to these elements, in comparison to standard steel, we obtain superior hardness, better cutting durability and considerably improved wear-resistance. Heat Treatment: Our blades receive quenching and tempering heat treatments. This increases their hardness and consequently, their lifespan. In addition, we perform double-heat treatments. This process provides the entire part with high impact strength and further reinforces the hardness of the cutting edge. Heat treatments are characterised by hardness measurements (and/or metallographic analysis), carried out internally. Company standard: More than 15 years ago Deguy-Conge initiated a quality approach to increase customer satisfaction. We are currently ISO 9001 certified by AFNOR (major certification body in France). In addition, we are regularly audited by our customers.
