Metal Replacement

High-performance plastics are increasingly replacing metal components – with less weight, lower cost and equal or better functionality. Vallotech supports you from material selection through to series production.

a. Steel Substitution

a. Steel Substitution

Glass- or carbon-fibre reinforced high-performance thermoplastics reach the mechanical strength of steel at a fraction of the weight – ideal for moving parts and lightweight assemblies.

b. Aluminum Substitution

b. Aluminum Substitution

Plastic components increasingly take over functions of die-cast aluminium – with greater design freedom, integrated functions and no corrosion.

c. Copper Substitution

c. Copper Substitution

In electrical applications, insulating thermosets replace conductive metal components wherever electrical isolation rather than conductivity is required.

d. Brass Substitution

d. Brass Substitution

Wear-resistant thermoplastics replace brass in pump and fitting components – corrosion-free, lighter and cost-efficient at high volumes.

e. Ceramic Substitution

e. Ceramic Substitution

High-temperature resistant thermosets offer the thermal stability of ceramic materials – with significantly lower breakage risk and lower production cost.
