AIMS Ltd is active in the development of a number of
high quality ferrous alloys aimed at specific applications. These
materials are manufactured from specially developed powders tailored
to the final application. The company provided materials as bar stock,
in addition however, individual components are manufactured to net
and/or near-net-shape.
The family of materials
available is based around high cleanliness and fine grain steels.
The range covers two specific grades of deep nitriding materials aimed
at the high end automotive industry and aerospace.
The development programme is on going and includes the research and
development ferrous based metal matrix composites as bar stock. Bespoke
components are also produced with fibre reinforcement. This approach
is targeted at increased stiffness and lightness.
Individual, customer/component specific development is targeted at
the manufacture of net and/or near-net-shape component with functionally
structured or zoned materials. In many cases it is ideal to produce
components with varying mechanical and physical properties; this approach
is targeted at component/material marriage to provide optimum component
performance and the economy of resource.
