Boosting performance and precision with Officine Riva's additional processing services

Officine Riva has been a leader in the metalworking industry for years, specializing in the production of metal stamping parts, washers, and metal fastening systems according to customer specifications. The company's core business is focused on delivering high-quality components that meet the demands of various industrial sectors, from automotive to machinery. Officine Riva’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction sets the company apart, ensuring that each product meets rigorous standards of performance and durability.

In addition to its metal components expertise, Officine Riva offers a comprehensive range of additional processes. These services are designed to enhance the appearance, functionality, and overall performance of metal components. Below is a breakdown of the services available:

- Tumbling, deburring, washing, and polishing

These processes remove contaminants, sharp edges and burrs, often through abrasive compounds or wheels, with the aim to polish surfaces. These steps are applicable to all common metals, such as steel and aluminum. It is crucial for components used in sectors where appearance and smoothness are key, for example automotive, medicine, electronics, etc.

- Chamfering

This service is mainly applied to steel and stainless steel parts used in fastening systems. By smoothing the edges, chamfering ensures optimal interaction between screws and other fastening components, essential for achieving secure tightening and assembly.

- Threading

Threading services are typically performed on steel, stainless steel, brass, and copper components. Threaded parts are critical for creating secure fastening points and ensuring a reliable seal in various mechanical and industrial applications, such as bolt and screws, pipe fittings, electrical connectors, machinery assemblies.

- Grinding

Grinding is a precision machining process focused on achieving specific dimensional accuracy, flatness, and surface roughness. It is usually applied to individual steel and stainless steel components to meet exact engineering tolerances.

- Marking

Officine Riva’s marking services are available across all metals, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper, allowing for easy and permanent product identification. Marking can include orientation marks for assembly or identification of the manufacturer or client. The methods used for marking are laser, stamping or ink.

- Lapping

Lapping is a precise surface finishing process used to achieve extremely smooth surfaces, flatness, and tight tolerances on metal parts, generally steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Unlike grinding, which involves a single rotating abrasive wheel, lapping uses two surfaces in conjunction with a fine abrasive slurry (a mixture of abrasive particles and a liquid) to remove small amounts of material. By removing even the smallest imperfections, lapping helps ensure the parts are ready for use in high-performance and high-precision environments.

- Hot flattening

Hot flattening is a metalworking process used to correct the flatness of metal parts by applying heat and pressure. It is typically employed when cold straightening methods are insufficient to achieve the desired level of flatness, especially for thicker or harder components that have undergone deformation during manufacturing, such as stamping, forging, or welding.

- Wet linish

Wet linish is a precise surface finishing process used to achieve extremely
smooth surfaces and metallic bright features on metal parts, generally steel,
mostly used in the Earth Moving sector.

- Carbonitriding and soft nitriding

These are surface hardening processes used to improve the wear resistance, surface hardness, and fatigue strength of metal components, typically steel. They consist in the diffusion of carbon and nitrogen into the surface layer of steel in a high-temperature environment.

These processing services can be integrated into Officine Riva’s custom-stamped products, enhancing both their functionality and visual appeal. Whether your components require precision, durability, or a flawless finish, Officine Riva's additional processes ensure that each part meets the specific needs of a wide range of industries.
