Structural Fabrications

High Grade Tubing

SST Technology has vast experience of forming and fabricating with many types of high grade sheet and tube materials. Inconel 625 and 718 are commonly used, as are high grades of Titanium and Stainless Steel, in thicknesses as low as 0.5mm. We also have extensive experience in incorporating advanced thin-walled Direct Metal Laser Sintered (DMLS) cast components and machined parts into systems, allowing complex structures to be integrated into finished assembly.

 

We can also offer advice on material selection for a specific application if the operating specification is known.

Corrosion Resistant Fabricated Assemblies

Many of SST Technology’s products are developed for use in highly corrosive environments where temperature, vibration and fluids accelerate the corrosion process. The business uses materials and techniques which are resistant to these harsh environments which help to prolong performance and longevity.

Titanium Driver Protection System (HALO)

SST Technology achieve conformity to the FIA Standard 8869-2018 to supply the Additional Frontal Protection Halo (AFP-Halo), into the Formula 1, Formula 2 and Formula E series.

 

SST employed it’s extensive experience in the design, development and manufacturing of high precision fabricated components, tube manipulation and precision machining to meet the unique challenges that this project presented. Extremely tight material control, production parameters and dimensional tolerances were required to allow an accurate fit up of the assembly onto the chassis, and to meet the extremely high load requirements of this structure. SST Technology’s Titanium Driver Protection System, referred to in short as the DPS-ProTi, is manufactured to be at the lower limit of the weight tolerance stipulated by the FIA.

 

SST are the only UK manufacturer of this system so if you have any questions or would like further details, please contact us.
