Extrusion Industry - Extruder Wear Parts - Our specialists with in-depth
knowledge of surface engineering and powder metallurgy provide the
extrusion industry with a range of solutions to corrosion and wear
problems in extruder barrel liners and screws. These are available
for all makes of extruders both twin screw and single screw. Sagittite®
addresses both abrasion and corrosion. Manufactured with a thicker
coating than other proprietary products and in some applications a
service life of up to ten times that of standard materials is being
realised.

components and monolithic components machined from a solid block of
material. Bushes for heavy duty pumps.
Ferrous Alloys
Automotive and Motorsports
The innovative choice of powder metallurgy permits the tailoring of
ferrous alloy materials to deliver the sometimes extreme properties
required by specific application particularly in the area of top level
international motorsport. Our ferrous MMCs can provide increase stiffness
combined with reduced weight thereby increasing overall energy efficiency
and reliability.

nitriding steels
Fibre reinforced ferrous MMCs
Automotive applications for AIMS ferrous alloys
include:
| Pushrods |
Gudgeon pins |
| Crankshafts |
Camshafts |
Based around the powder metallurgy manufacturing route our aluminium
based materials, both monolithic and MMCs (Metal Matrix Composites),
are specifically aimed at markets where high strength and stiffness
at elevated operating temperatures is required. Matrix alloy composition
and particulates etc. are selected to provide the desired performance
characteristics the specific application demands.
