1. Industry Background & Application Thermal spray manufacturing industries apply protective and functional coatings on metal components to improve wear resistance, corrosion protection, oxidation resistance, and dimensional restoration. Theperformance of these coatings is directly dependent on powder quality and homogeneity before spraying. In this application,...
Overview: Tungsten Carbide Balls and Their Critical Applications Tungsten carbide balls are engineered for extreme performance. They are indispensable in a wide range of high-stress applications—from precision tools, bearings, and ball screws to defense systems and nuclear programs. Their unique properties—such as superior hardness,...
Introduction Thermal spraying is a key technology used to enhance the surface properties of components exposed to mechanical, chemical, or thermal stress. Whether it’s aerospace turbine blades, biomedical implants, or heavy-duty automotive parts, thermal sprayed coatings help extend service life and improve performance. With the...
Overview: What is MIM and Why Mixing Matters? Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) is a high-precision manufacturing process that combines the flexibility of plastic injection moulding with the strength of sintered metal. This hybrid process allows for the mass production of complex metal parts with...
Grinding wheels are made of natural or synthetic abrasive minerals bonded together in a matrix to form a wheel. The challenge in mixing is to mix phenolic resin and diamond abrasive grains, to get the most homogeneous mixing. The customer was using a conventional...
Diamond bits are used for drilling in concrete, reinforced concrete, masonry, and other natural materials. In producing diamond bits and diamond coring bits, powder mixer plays a major role. The problem One of our customers wanted to mix powders of Tungsten carbide, Cobalt and synthetic...
The problem One of our client’s application was to mix 20 kg of tungsten (90%) along with nickel and iron mixture to produce tungsten carbide tools. The resultant mixture was further made into 6 mm balls or into cuboids form. We were ready to...
The metal injection moulding (MIM) process combines the design flexibility of plastic injection molding with the strength and integrity of wrought metals to offer cost effective solutions for parts with highly complex geometries. Our customer one of India's largest MIM product manufacturing companies, located...
Alphie has replaced the conventional barrel mixers for mixing of uranium dioxide granules with bonding agents. The 3D mixing not only resulted in uniform mixing, but reduced the mixing time by half. Alphie is being used in India’s only nuclear fuel manufacturing factory, the...
The mixing or blending of powder feedstocks for die pressing of powder metallurgy parts is carried out mainly for adding a lubricant in the main blend. Popular lubricants are stearic acid, stearin, metallic stearates or other organic compound of a waxy nature. The objectives...
