Environmentally Friendly
|
NetShape's powder metal process is good for the environment
because scrap is minimized. Volatiles that are present in other
competing processes are eliminated.
|
Reduced Part Weight
|
The reduced weight of our components gives you an overall lighter product, improving fuel consumption and operating efficiencies while lowering your shipping costs.
|
Self-Lubrication
|
The inherent properties of powder metal have unique advantages, such as self-lubrication via oil impregnation, offering you longer product life and low maintenance systems.
|
High-Performance Material Alloy Choices
|
NetShape's parts can be manufactured with special alloys and
high temperature sintered or sinter hardened for ultra-high strength
and durability. Tested under the most severe operating conditions,
your parts will exceed the demands of your application while maintaining
the defined specifications. For example, our sintered hardened backing
plates have an ultimate tensile strength to 100,000 psi while maintaining
desired flatness tolerances.
|
High-Strength/High-Density
|
NetShape's newly developed manufacturing processes push the
envelope for your strength and durability needs.
|
Speed-to-Market
|
A proven new product introduction process, coupled with advanced
engineering and mechanical modeling techniques, delivers optimal
product launch success. Due to the nature of P/M and MIM tooling,
procurement times are shorter than competing processes.
