Amorphous Metal Parts dedicated to Watchmaking

Vulkam provides solutions to produce Vulkalloy® parts by "Microthermomoulding or Net shape / Near net shape" microthermomoulding processes. Our Vulkalloys® are particularly well-suited to the production of micromechanical components such as movement or decoration parts, thanks to their specific advantages, such as  :

• A High resistance enabling them to be miniaturized and their characteristics to be enhanced (1600 to 2800 Mpa).

• A High fatigue resistance up to 1450 Mpa (1 % creep) at 10 Mios cycles for a better lifetime.

• A High hardness up to 850 HV with low friction ratios for a better wearing resistance and cutting efficiency.

• Higher corrosion resistance than maraging steels ensuring a better life time.

• Lower young modulus than stainless steels with 2 % elastic deformation (80 to 150 Gpa).

• Non magnetics.

• Biocompatible.

• A processability by thermomoulding to avoid current machining steps and design new geometries. The use of the thermomoulding process enables significant savings in materials and resources and can be a differentiating solution for your design projects. It allows a high processing & reproducibility.

We will be pleased to further discuss your needs and evaluate how to answer them. Looking forward to sharing further information with yourself and appropriate team !
