Semi-finished
and finished
parts made from
copper
BUNTMETALLamstetten has two production
plants in Austria, one in Amstetten, one in
Enzesfeld. It produces tubes, rods, bars,
wires, profiles and also finished parts and
slide bearing elements. Both are certified to
ISO 9001, with an export share of more than
70%. The company is an internationally
recognised partner of the industry and well
known on the world market for its products
of highest quality. Owing to the most modern
production facilities and an international
distribution network a high flexibility in
products and service is achieved.
Industrial tubes in straight lengths and
in coils are produced in dimensions of
4 to 230mm outside diameter and wall
thickness of 0.28 to 40mm. Layer-wound
tubes are manufactured to the state-of-the-
art technology in the size range of 4–30mm
outside diameter with wall thickness of
0.28–1.75mm. For the processing industry
the long lengths of the level-wound tube
coils mean small processing scrap and long
machine running times. Coil weights up to
450kg are possible.
Further product lines are tubes, fittings
and bars from copper-nickel alloys of the
trademark EUCARO, aluminium multi-alloy
bronzes alcaro and carbronze – a cold
drawn tin bronze – for heavy-duty slide
bearings.
buntmetall is in a position to offer an
interesting range of finished products.
This programme includes parts ready for
assembly, machined on the most modern
CNC machines from the company’s own
semi-products. Competent customer
advisers from production and sales are at
your disposal for detailed problem solutions.

New scarf tool
coating for
galvanised tube
KENT Corporation has introduced a new
coating for OD scarf tools. The new coating
was created for longer life on materials such
as galvanised and aluminiumised tubing.
The new GR coating is being used by
several tube producers and they have seen
increases in the life of the tool by as much
as 100% or more. When scarfing coated
materials, the coating often gums up under
the tool causing it to wear prematurely.
The new GR coating is very slick and
reduces the build up on these applications
resulting in a much longer tool life. Kent
has a full line of ID and OD scarf tools
along with complete ID scarfing and flash
roll systems.
