Particle Metallurgy
Advanced Steel Production Technologies
Particle Metallurgy Steels are produced using two innovative production methods.
HIP
Hot Isostatic Pressed
Atomizing and consolidating loose tool steel powder under high temperature and pressure forming a PM ingot.
Result:
Tool steel with homogeneous distribution of very fine carbides.
Tool steel with homogeneous distribution of very fine carbides.
SF
Spray Formed
Atomizing powder and directing semi-solid atomized powder onto a rotating platen for directional buildup.
Result:
Tool steel with carbides slightly larger than consolidated HIP PM.
Tool steel with carbides slightly larger than consolidated HIP PM.
