About Us
Salloytech company was established in 2014. We are engineering office with a production facility. From the beginning of our operation, the company focuses on quality assurance of manufactured parts.
From January 2018, Salloytech headquarter is located at the Science and Technology Park „Świerk” which is the part of the National Center for Nuclear Research in Otwock near Warsaw. Whole area is strictly protected because of the direct neighbourhood of a nuclear reactor ‘Maria’. Entrance to our office, warehouse and production floor is possible only via electronically controlled access zone. When working interdisciplinary projects we are able to take advantage of laboratories and experience of the engineers and scientists employed at the Institute.
Thanks to a team of certified specialists, the aerospace industry is the main customer of our services. Main activity of company is mechanical engineering but the big part of our business is machining difficult-to-machine materials such as nickel-base superalloys and titanium. The company's activity also includes rapid prototyping, reverse engineering and Non-Destructive Testing, work on development projects aimed at improving technological processes and consulting services in the field of quality assurance.
Our main strengths:

Products
High-temperature Custom Metal Accessories
Salloytech is a one stop-shop for high-temperature custom metal accessories such as connection rods, couplings, grips, fixtures made of MAR M 246/247, Alloy 713C cast superalloys especially for Creep and Stress Rupture testing.
Other materials like nickel base single crystals (i.e. René N515) are available upon request. We supply the end product from the purchase of raw materials, through the heat treatment to machining. Our site is AS9100 certified, and the superalloys are mostly US origin to provide best possible performance. We can provide raw material samples to check its mechanical properties at elevated temperatures.
Specimens And Test Samples, Machined From Areospace Grade Materials
Salloytech manufactures high quality test coupons, specimens, samples, buttons, panels,
discs, and strips for Thermal and Cold Spray facilities mainly in the aviation industry.
We specialize in cutting difficult-to-machine aerospace grade materials such as nickel &
cobalt base superalloys, titanium, and hardened steel.
Our experience includes manufacturing specimens used for:
Test specimens manufactured by our developed technologies will allow you to:
We guarantee delivery of high quality and functional products as a result of:
Test coupons also called “test buttons” for tensile / bond strength test of coatings are our flagship product. We know how many variables are in testing and we do our best to minimize their influence on the test results.
Thanks to our proprietary manufacturing process we can make test buttons with tight tolerances up to 0.0004 inch or 0.01 mm TIR of:
- flatness of flat surfaces,
- parallelism of flat surfaces,
- outside diameter,
and with:
- similar surface finish as the part,
for the good roughness correlation of the part and the specimen after grit blasting.
The results of the fabrication are:
TENSILE / BOND STRENGTH OF COATING TEST COUPON / BUTTON
Furthermore, our quality inspection staff check each one of them.
Why to use tight tolerance test coupons?
Thermal Spray facilities especially in aerospace industry often need to check coating quality on test specimens by destructive tests e.g. tensile / bond strength test. This need to be done for basically three reasons:
- to obtain approval for coating in qualification process,
- continuous monitor of coating consistency,
- decrease the frequency of testing according to Reduced Testing / Sampling procedure.
The acceptance or magnitude of above activities often depends on a process capability / performance index CPK / PPKcalculated with the test results during Statistical Process Control e.g. the more stable test results are the higher testing reduction can be obtained and maintained. There are many factors of test results variation but one of them is quality of test specimens – and here we have a solution for your facility. Using our made test buttons you can:
- obtain better test results for coating qualification,
- improve reduced testing and hold it on a high level.

Brazing Accessories & Equipment
Salloytech supplies materials, accessories, products especially engineered for brazing process such as:
- Pre-sintered Diffusion Brazing Preforms (PSP) are a metallurgy products composed of superalloy and brazing powders from a customized blend. They are ideal for dimensional restoration as well as crack repair of blades and vanes subjected up to 1300°C in aero engines. Available in various compositions and shapes – e.g. plates, from 0.25 to 5 mm thickness can be cut to required dimensions. For difficult-to-reach areas it can be produce as a paste and paint. Thanks to low porosity (less than 2%), shrinkage is minimized thus only small allowance is needed for grinding/machining after brazing.
- Braze powders are produced by dry gas atomization. The process is capable to provide the particles that are clean and dry. They are spherical in shape and solid in structure. Powders are also uniform and homogeneous. From the chemical composition point of view, each particle contains required amounts of the alloying component.
- Braze paste is based on the blended braze alloy powders (metal fillers) and flux-free binder which is neutral for the brazing process.
- Braze Tape is a convenient form of an metal filler application. Consist of a uniform layer of cast braze alloy and a binder wound, packed in a rolls.
- Flux is a chemical compound applied to the joint surfaces before brazing. Its use, with a few exceptions, is crucial in the atmospheric brazing process. Heating a metal surface accelerates the formation of oxides, the result of chemical combination between the hot metal and oxygen in the air. If you don't stop these oxides from forming, they'll inhibit the brazing filler metal from wetting and bonding to the surfaces. A coating of flux on the joint area guards the surfaces from the air, preventing oxide formation. It also dissolves and absorbs any oxides that form throughout heating or that were not completely removed in the cleaning process.
- STOP-OFF in general is to prevents accidental brazing of mating surfaces and unwanted flow of filler metal.
- Brazing aids are also important parts of brazing process. It may be a blast media for preparing surfaces prior to brazing. Binder which can be mixed with any brazing filler metal powder to produce a paste for application with hand or air powered applicators. Or even Nicrobraz Cements which are used for mixing with brazing filler metal powders to ensure adhesion to base metal during handling and brazing.
Services
