Electro-sinter-forging (ESF) is the fastest industrial sintering technology on the market. With a single complete sintering in less than one second and by combining pressing and sintering in one single action ESF has the potential to revolutionize the traditional press and sinter workflow for a more simple, lean, energy efficient, eco-friendly and high quality production.
The consequences of such a rapid, immediate and thermodynamically metastable process are precious:
- A complete new range of alloys can be developed.
- Nano-crystalline pure metals, alloys and composited are easily processed to near full density.
- No vacuum required.
- Very low energy per piece used Comparison with Hot Pressing.
- Complete mould change in less than 30 minutes.
