QUALITY AND MANUFACTURING TESTS
STOOSS forgings undergo various quality and manufacturing tests. Micrographic and chemical physical examinations, non-destructive and mechanical tests are carried out in the STOOSS laboratories (Hedingen, Switzerland). The test certificates, in combination with the ST-stamp, confirm the perfect quality of the STOOSS forging parts.

Safety and long product life
Forged parts from STOOSS are outstanding because of their:
material selected on the strength of its analysis and degree of purity
exact shaping
ideal degree of forming
optimum grain structure
minimum allowances, narrow tolerances
thermal treatment relevant to the application
Moreover, they offer exceptional advantages:
excellent manufacture in respect of surface quality and accuracy of form
suitable for processing on CNC
machines
reduction of mechanical processing time, thus saving costs
high degree of security against fatigue cracks
