GMAW and SMAW Welding for Aerospace Applications
GMAW and SMAW Welding for Aerospace Applications SMAW Welding SMAW is short for “Shielded Metal Arc Welding.” Also sometimes called “stick” welding. This is because it uses an electrode, which is shaped like a stick. During the welding process, this electrode is melted together with the metal that is being welded. This creates what’s known […]
Dedicated Cold Isostatic Press
Dedicated Cold Isostatic Press We are able to utilize CIP for pre-pressing elementary or blended powders. CIP can be used in conjunction with PM HIP processes or pre-sintering applications. Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is a process using simultaneous high pressure and temperature over a set amount of time to improve materials properties. These vessels are […]
The Purpose of Powdered Metal
The Purpose of Powdered Metal Powder metal assists manufacturers in forming and shaping complex, intricate designs in a uniform fashion. In some situations, this technology offers a cost-effective alternative to mass producing components which require extensive machining during the finishing process. It plays an increasingly important role in modern CNC machining. Additionally, when correctly sintered, […]
Atomized Powders Produced with High-Vacuum Furnaces/Smelters
Atomized Powders Produced with High-Vacuum Furnaces/Smelters The process atomized powders are produced with high-vacuum furnaces/smelters and the application-specific combination of melting and atomization techniques enables production of a wide range of super-clean metal powders, including super-alloys, precious metals, refractory and reactive metal powders. There is a choice in the process between two main atomizer types, […]
All about Isostatic Pressing
All about Isostatic Pressing Isostatic pressing is a powder metallurgy (PM) forming process that applies equal pressure in all directions on a powder compact thus achieving maximum uniformity of density and microstructure without the geometrical limitations of uniaxial pressing. Isostatic pressing is performed “cold” or “hot.” Cold isostatic pressing (CIP) is used to compact green parts at […]
