Tecnofar, specialist in stainless steel tubes

Tecnofar spa manufactures and sells high-performance longitudinally welded stainless steel and nickel alloys tubes, in particular:

• austenitic stainless steels
• duplex stainless steels
• ferritic stainless steels
• alloys with a high nickel content

Located in the North of Italy, in a green area, surrounded by the Italian and Swiss Alps, Tecnofar Spa  has recently increased its production unit with a modern 5000 m2 plant, opened on January 2016.

Working with the most important European stainless steel mills, at the base of supply chain, Tecnofar offers a semi-finished quality product, fundamental requirement for a cost-efficient and environmentally-friendly component part.

Tecnofar Used in various applications, like alimentary, heat exchanger, medical etc..,

In automotive industry, Tecnofar’s tubes are fundamental part of components mounted on millions of passenger cars and commercial vehicles around the world.

Some application examples:

-Pipelines (Fuel/Oil/Air)                                                  -Glow Plugs- EGR Tubes                                                                       -Exhaust Systems

An advanced engineering department and a vision that drives us continuously looking for improvements and technological developments, at a competitive price, make Tecnofar a leading manufacturer of quality stainless steel tubes.

With this aspect, combined with the constant attention to customer needs, Tecnofar contributes to increasing the performance of his customer’s products.

The 11 Tig welding lines are equipped with the most efficient control systems  and induction annealing furnaces, that, working in a protected atmosphere, give to Tecnofar tubes an high corrosion-resistant resistance and the right mechanical characteristics  to perform bending, hydroforming, expanding, drilling, flanging etc …

A large part of Tecnofar’s production is dedicated to standard diameters like (ODxWT) 5×1, 6×1, 6×0,7, 8×1, 10×1, 12×1, 12,7×1, 14×0,3, 13,5×0,4, 20×0,4, 14×1, 16×1, 19×1, 22×1, 30×0,5, 41,20×1, 50×1, 50×2,  53×1, 55,8×1, 66,4×1,2, 71,2×0,8 mm.

Tecnofar tubes are regularly subjected to the most strict control tests,  in according with specific standards:

• ASTM:
  A240- A480 A249- A269- A270- A312- A358- A530- A554- A632- A778- A908- B751- A269- A803- A789 – A790
• DIN:
  11850
• EN:
  10088/2 – 10217/7 – 10312 – 10296
• PED:
  97/23/EC ANNEXI par 4.3

Production range for welded tubes goes from 3 to 76 mm and thickness from 0,15 to 3 mm, with possibility of heat treatment and surface finishing by satinizing (grain 60 – 800 micron)

To meet the production requirements of all the customers, Tecnofar tubes could be supplied in long bars, in coils, or  in fix length cut pieces, perfectly deburred and cleaned.

To expand its production capacity for cut pipes Tecnofar has started a new and modern 4.0 plant to cut, deburr, wash, and check pipe segments with a diameter between 8,00 mm and 76,00 mm in lengths between 90 mm and 1000 mm, equipped with automatic loading and issuing of control reports (with Cpk).

The new plant integrates an already advanced department that is composed of 10 machines able to cut directly from bar or from roll tubes of diameter included between 1,00 mm and 76,00 mm and lengths from 3,00 to 3000 mm.

All this is done with a view to provide a quality product, always closer to the customer’s needs.

Directly connected to the production of stainless steel welded tube, Tecnofar is producing welded cold-drawn precision tubes with an external diameter ranging from 0,3 to 20 mm and thickness from 0,1 to 2 mm, available in bar, rolls and cut to size,  used in the application which require a very high precision and quality.
