TBM Tools

Excellent manufacturing

SPM Proven and reliable

The quality and lifetime of the excavation tools have a noticeable effect on tunnelling performance and the economic efficiency of mechanized tunnelling.

Every excavation tool is manufactured complying with highest standards of quality, sustainable use of resources and maximum safety at work. In addition to the certificates ISO 9001, ISO 14001,which have been introduced at all manufacturing facilities, we also hold other technical approvals confirming the high level of safety and quality at SPM.

Market mainstream alloy 86 14 3-4 > 3000
SPM alloys 87.6 14.35 >4 > 3235

Heat transfer properties of alloys

  Heat conductivity coefficient W/m*K Thrmal diffusion coefficient(mm2/s) Specific heat capacity J/kg*K
Conventional alloys 110 31.49 246
SPM alloys 142.5 45.22 225
  • Homogeneous organization, stable performance.
  • The average grain size alloy is large, which has good thermal conductivity and thermal fatigue resistance.
  • Alloys has high hardness, bending strength, abrasion resistance, breaking and impact resistance.
