Continuously under pressure to reduce emissions and costs the automotive market has constantly increased, on the last twenty years, the amount of sintered components. Through EPoS’s ESF a wide range of car components can be manufactured which range from permanent magnets to brake pads.

Applications:

• Brushings
• Valve Seats
• Rare earth permanent magnets
• Inductors
• Gears
• Counterweights
• Spark plug electrodes
• Break pads

Electro sinter forged products and materials can find application in a wide range of biomedical / healthcare components thanks to their considerable hardness given by the rapidity in processing/production and to the absence of contaminations from the process tooling. Appreciable characteristic of ESFed components for protheses is also a thin layer of porous material on the surface of the sintered components that increases the possibility for organic tissue to adhere and integrate the component.

Applications

• Staples
• Hard metal tools
• Stainless steel tools
• Shape memory blanks and components
• Titanium blanks and components

Faced with continuous and increasing challenges in a rapidly changing economy the construction industry can benefit sensibly by rapidity, low cost and versatility of the ESF process. Thanks to the peculiarities of EPoS’ sintering process high speed abrasive tools with smooth and constant cutting speed can become the norm instead of the exception and hard, tough drilling and excavation tools with prolonged tools life can be the new standard.

Applications:

• Diamond blades for natural stone
• Diamond blades for concrete
• Hard materials for excavation/demolition
• Hard coatings on wear surfaces

Costumers

• Super abrasives tools producers
• Mining and excavation tool producers
• Tool users with challenging, specific, and constant requirements

Present and future life is lead by a constant growth of energy demand and distribution. Demand for innovative solutions in this field have been driving materials research and development in the last twenty years. Reducing sintering time and contamination from processing atmosphere Electro-Sinter-Forging technology is providing a fertile ground for the development of future energy/powder devices.

Applications

• Hard magnetic materials (Nd-Fe-B)
• Soft magnetic materials (inductors)
• Electrical contacts and switches
• Thermoelectrics
• Batteries
• Hydrogen storage

Through EPoS’ innovative high speed sintering technology combined with proper powder processing, hardness can be sensibly increased to reduce wear, either by creating composites either reducing grain size, through Hall-Petch strengthening. A considerable number of tools and components can benefit from an increase in hardness. Applications include:

Applications

• Welding tips/electrodes
• Plunger tips
• Cutting tools
• Spinnerets
