A turbocharger is a turbine-driven forced charge intake control system that increases the efficiency and output of an internal combustion engine by forcing additional gas into the combustion chamber.

The raw material for the high temperature side of the turbocharger needs to be able to withstand heat of approximately 1300°C. This is the fundamental reason why austenitic stainless steel is generally chosen for petrol engines. The production and processing of abrasive raw materials is generally characterised by very short and irregular blade life, uneven wear and difficulties in achieving tight dimensional tolerances for the product workpiece.

Automotive turbocharger housings

The turbocharger housing is an important component of the turbocharger and the turbocharger system is very complex, requiring high operating pressures and therefore high workpiece accuracy and machining quality, WSS offers an economical solution for turbocharger housing OD face turning and bore turning, with precision machining technology to ensure smooth delivery.
