Grade & Design Development

Your key to success for customised solutions

With our development team, you will always get the best solution for your requirements. You can count on us to come up with the best grade, design and process recommendations for your application.

All our development services are of course supported by our internal analytical centre with its state-of-the-art equipment. Whether you work blanks, semi-finished, finished or coated pieces – we are your partner for grade and design development in the carbide industry.

Our services

  • Application engineering consulting
    Choosing the right carbide grade from our large portfolio with the optimal properties for your application, improving the design of your product and adapting your process – we offer a 360° service when it comes to optimising your production and maximising your profitability.
  • Development and industrialisation
    Both customised grades and designs will of course be tested extensively in a real environment and further developed for specific applications in consultation with you and our product management team.
  • Optimisation of your product design
    Thanks to FEA (Finite Elements Analysis), virtual components can be calculated on the computer; deformations and stresses under the influence of a variety of forces are simulated. These so-called virtual prototypes help to save development time and costs well before actual production, as possible design errors can be detected and avoided in advance.

Water jet nozzles: products and innovation programme

We create competitive advantages for our business partners through the setting of new technological standards and development of innovative carbide products. We invest continuously in fundamental research, process technology, product development and application technology. As a technological leader in the carbide industry, we hold over 1,000 patents worldwide and employ more than 200 employees in R&D.

In addition to our state-of-the-art development, we also manage all process phases from the carbide powder to the ready-to-use solution, so we can always offer you top-class product quality, precision and performance at the highest level. Close hole tolerances, perfect grind and concentricity guarantee precise working results for your water jet cutting application.

Now we are going one step further and are launching a new innovative service for our water jet nozzles business partners. Partners will have the chance to test new products and get the latest CERATIZIT innovations before the products are released on the market.

This will give our customers a market advantage and will allow them to gradually build first-hand expertise in innovative state-of-the-art products.
