WHY ETC
Cutting edge
Technology
ETC is an early
adopter of cutting edge technology. We
combine proven technologies, Infrastructure, People
Skills, Quality and Practices to meet the industry
standards.
VOAD
We have established an Exotic alloy steel
casting facility by installing a Vacuum
Oxygen Argon Degassing (VOAD) steel refining furnace.
This makes ETC as a premium
source of Duplex, super Duplex, specialty alloys and
Monel steel.
Centrifugal
Cast balls
In centrifugal casting, molten metal is poured into a
spinning metallic die. Centrifugal forces during
spinning allows flow of heavy metal to outside diameter
and lighter oxides and impurities are restricted to
inside diameter of casting.
The metal solidifies from outside in, leaving no
mid-wall shrinkage or porosities. Impurities in the
inside bore are machined out to have defect free casting
with no shrinkage or gas cavities. The casting produced
has a structure very close to a forged product.
Process
1. Centrifugal Casting
2. Heat Treatment
3. Machining
4. Finishing (grinding - polishing)
5. 3 Dimensional Inspection
Machining
High productivity CNC Machines operated by qualified and
motivated operators ensures quality product with close
tolerances according to Customer Drawings.
Finishing
SAFOP most advanced technology grinding/polishing
machine impart true sphericity and surface finish to
balls for smooth and trouble free operation of soft and
metal seat valves. Machine can finish ball castings from
6” to 36” size with or without stem.
3 Dimensional Inspection
3 D Coordinate Measuring Technology enables exhaustive
inspections guarantee machining quality, in accordance
with customer Drawings and Specifications.
CNC Machine shop
Our State of the art, CNC Machine shop has facilities
for machining gate, globe, check, butterfly, ball
valves ranging from2
inches to 60 inches. Our
modern machining facilities incorporating group
technology, flexible manufacturing, and just-in-time
production technology assists in satisfying small batch
needs of project customers.
In order to meet
stringent project deadlines, we have been using a fully
integrated iBaan ERP system and our own CNC machining/
CMM inspection and NDT facility for supplying fully
machined castings.
Design Center, R&D Lab Facility
We use Magma
3D Solidification simulation software to enhance the
quality of our castings. The simulation allows to
continuously improve the castings we pour. On receipt of
drawings and specifications from our customers, we
develop advanced methoding / pattern deployment using
our CNC pattern manufacturing facility.
The unique advantage we have at ETC is that all the
facilities that are required for producing castings are
available in our plant including Cobalt, Iridium,
Ultrasonic Testing and Magnetic Particle Testing. As new
challenges unfold we remain at the forefront of
technology and serve the demands of a growing market.
Our new state-of-the-art Lab Facility will introduce
sophisticated mechanical, chemical, and non destructive
tests of special steels. On installation of the vacuum
furnace, we will be conducting metallurgical research to
develop high quality steels. We will also establish a 3D
Design center to facilitate pattern development,
solidification simulation and CAD/CAM interface
