Enhanced Raw Materials

Our Expertise

• An R&D centre - the guarantee of constant innovation
• Industrial sites that master all manufacturing processes through to the finished product (heat treatment, cold-finishing, cutting to length, machining)
• Technical and commercial teams specialised in their market sectors with in-depth knowledge of the end-applications
• A commercial network close to the customers, and a dedicated rough machining (free-cutting) services centre
• A long-term partnership with industrial players
  

Our Know-how

Innovation, weight reduction, reliability

• Extensive knowledge of the industrial chains within the Automotive industry, through a dedicated function-based approach: Steering, Injection, Engine, Suspension, Transmission
• Close cooperation with the various contractors and their subcontractors in developing new solutions
• Simplification of the customers' industrial processes
• Improved productivity on the industrial production lines
• International support for delocalisation of the major groups
• Answers for increasingly intense mechanical stresses: weight savings, lighter parts, etc.
• Efficient R&D resources for validating new parts (simulation, etc.)
• A major contribution to protecting the environment, in conformity with anti-pollution standards (for example, in the field of diesel technology with direct injection), and by developing heat treatment processes (gas quenching), etc.
• Control of the various characteristics of the proposed products: steel structure, cleanness, reproducibility, quenchability, geometry, ...
• A service centre, dedicated to free-cutting products

Quality Management

Total Quality: a state of mind, a reality

• The objective of KINGTIME and its employees is to ensure the overall satisfaction of our customers.
• The Total Quality policy deployed throughout the company makes this Customer-Oriented Approach a central priority.
• The continuing progress approach aims more specifically at ensuring product conformity and reliability, safety and protection of the environment.
• Year under assessment constantly attentive to its customers, accompanying or even anticipating their needs, assisting them in their own industrial processes to offer innovative, reliable and value-creating solution, and a high standard of service.
• The company holds regular reviews of its fabrication processes, productivity, causes of non quality and cost reduction actions.

Being customer-oriented is both a state of mind and an everyday reality at KINGTIME

Inspections

From the most standard to the most sophisticated

As soon as a grade of steel is produced, it undergoes numerous checks and inspections to guarantee its conformity with specifications (cleanness, machineability, geometry, ...)

• Surface quality inspections (eddy currents, magnetic dispersion leakage flux, magnetic particle inspection, ...)
• Internal quality inspections (ultrasounds, ultrasonic inspection at 100% of volume, ...)
• Dimensional and anti-mixing inspections
• Internal cleanness inspections (ultrasound inspection in tank, wide field image analyses, ...)
• Conventional laboratory tests (analyses, mechanical tests, metallographic examinations)
