The competence and reliability, demonstrated every day since 2005, has enabled Gieffeacciai to obtain from Marcegaglia Sheffield – world leader in the advanced materials sector thanks to the production of efficient, long lasting and recyclable stainless steels – the exclusive sale in Lombardy, Piedmont, Triveneto and Emilia Romagna of Prodec® stainless steel.
The Prodec® range offers different types of stainless steel suitable for superior and consistent machining, higher machining speed, longer tool life and superior quality.
Prodec® Stainless SteelsProdec® is a product line that includes three austenitic stainless steels: 303, 304L and 316L. These materials, thanks to metallurgical techniques carried out in the ladle studied and created by Marcegaglia Sheffield technicians, are able to guarantee compared to conventional products:
• better chip formation
• superior quality of the machined surface
• higher processing speeds
• longer tool life
• better tolerances
• lower scrap
The combination of all these characteristics leads to significant cost reductions thanks to increased productivity, reduced insert consumption, decreased machine downtime for tool replacement, and a significant drop in scrap due to non-compliant tolerances and roughness.The steels of the Prodec® line comply from all points of view (chemical analysis, mechanical characteristics, etc.) with European and American product standards (UNI EN 10088-3, UNI EN 10272, ASTM A276, ASTM A479, ASTM 582, ASTM 564, ASME SA 479) and their resistance to corrosion is identical to that of their traditional counterparts.
