AIMS Ltd has been established for 10 years
and its primary discipline is the design, development and manufacture
of specialist powder metallurgy products. The majority of the products
are consolidated by hot Isostatic pressing (HIPing) and or a combination
of cold Isostatic pressing (CIPing) and HIPing.
The company has a high level of expertise in the field of functionally
structured and zoned materials tailored for specific applications.
Many of these applications are centred on surface engineering applications
involving high strength and high fatigue performance. Other areas
of operation cover abrasion/adhesive wear, erosion and corrosion,
as discrete mechanisms or a combined event.
The range of materials covered encompasses nickel
based super alloys, steels and
aluminium products.
AIMS Ltd is involved in the development and improvement of new, novel
and existing materials via the powder metallurgy route.
Specific customer application driven research and development projects
are undertaken to tailor materials and component structures to discrete
applications. These can be undertaken on a one to one basis or as
a collaborative scheme in strictest confidence. AIMS Ltd has good
professional links and works closely with Cranfield University specifically,
and other academic establishments, on a daily basis in conjunction
with research and development projects.
AIMS Ltd has its own specialised facilities with a wide range of equipment
which includes: - Inert gas and grounded powder handling/filling,
high energy ball milling and powder blending, degassing and gas purging
and Cold Isostatic Pressing facilities.
