    1. POLY-PTX Cut & Polish (S/C) fleece wheel

      POLY-PTX Cut & Polish (S/C) fleece wheel

      Thanks to an extremely high grain content in connection with a silicon / carbide grain mixture the well-known satin finish (industrial finish K240 - 280) in the stainless steel area can be achieved incredibly quickly. You can even satinize untreated and scratch-free stainless steel surfaces without any preparatory work. Recommendation in case of scratches: preliminary work with fleece wheel, grit 60. Oxide layers are broken through quickly due to the high grain content. The bright, shiny sanding pattern creates a optically very attractive effect. Features: Silicon carbide fleece fabric grain 240 - 280 for a quick, decorative longitudinal sanding. Dimensions 115 x 100 mm. Ideal speed 1,000-2,000 min-1. Maximum speed 5,000 min-1. 19 mm spline shaft holder. With vibration-damped sleeve (design protected) for 1-fold, 2-fold and 4-fold splined shaft, thus 100% concentricity.

    2. Powder Consolidation

      Powder Consolidation

      Our capabilities support the key technical challenge of innovating processes to efficiently fabricate and test material libraries, whilst simultaneously capturing sufficient information which can be shared with manufacturers to enable rapid deployment to occur. Additive Manufacturing technologies developed through Royce at the University of Sheffield hold the potential to displace existing technologies with reduced material waste and increased part complexity. Melt Spinner casts a thin ribbon of rapidly quenched amorphous material in 100g batches, and is suitable for Al, Fe, Ni, and Cu alloys. In powder metallurgy, HIP allows us to compress a volume of metal powder at such high temperatures and pressures, that through a combination of deformation, creep, and diffusion, you actually create a product with an homogenous annealed microstructure (compact solid) with minimal or no impurities in the materials. Meanwhile our research CIP is used to shape form powders into a green body, prior to sintering. This model allows the pressing of various shapes, including discs, bars, and tubes, and is therefore a near-net-shape process. Field Assisted Sintering Technology/Spark Plasma Sintering (FAST/SPS) uses a DC electric current to directly heat the mould and/or sample through Joule heating. This direct heating allows high heating rates and low processing cycle times to be achieved. Lower temperatures and mould pressures are also typical compared to conventional hot pressing and sintering techniques. FAST/SPS offers new possibilities to manufacture numerous materials with potentially extraordinary characteristics. Capabilities: Additive Manufacturing (Laser Powder Bed Fusion, Directed Energy Deposition, Binder System) Isostatic Pressing (Hot and Cold) Field Assisted Sintering Technology/Spark Plasma Sintering Conform Extrusion

    3. Powder Production

      Powder Production

      We're able to develop novel, bespoke alloys in small powder batches with our state-of-the-art powder production equipments. This can be trialled and evaluated through various NNS technologies in order to achieve the optimum feedstock for each process. With a range of equipment across our two sites we're able to develop and produce small batches of novel, bespoke alloy powder. These can be tailored to an optimum feedstock need for a variety of onwards needs such as additive manufacturing. Our capabilities enable us to produce powder through atomisation or milling, with the resulting powders being refined through the spheroidisation process. The Arcast atomiser utilises induction melting and inert gas atomisation to produce high-quality, technically-advanced powders from a variety of metals such as titanium, iron, copper, nickel. and cobalt-based alloys. The Union Process mills are fast, efficient and reliable for the fine grinding of media including carbon steel, stainless steel, chrome, and tungsten carbide. They are ideal for formulating, quality control, and scale-up studies, with results being repeatable for maximum credibility. The Tekna spheroidiser uses high energy plasma to create highly spherical and dense metal powders providing consistent results and better flowability. The process also removes contamination and reduces oxygen meaning it is a vital step for recycling powder. Capabilities: Atomisation Attrition Milling Spheroidisation

      PTX COMPACT linear grinder

      Longitudinal grinding, matting, satin finishing, polishing, deburring, de-rusting, descaling, color removal, round tube processing and much more thanks to a sophisticated planetary gear for incredibly high power reserves and For the first time, Eisenblätter is offering a lightweight, compact universal grinder that should not be missing in any workshop. In addition to the well-known longitudinal grinder from the POLY-PTX® series for working widths from 100 to 110 mm, Eisenblätter now offers a compact version of its legendary longitudinal grinding machines especially for roller widths up to 50 mm on! Thanks to the ideal speeds of 800 - 3,000 rpm , almost all surface treatments can also be done in "small format" for permanent professional use. The prerequisite for this versatility and usability of almost all possible grinding tools is of course the high torque , which is guaranteed by the special special gearbox even in the lower speed range. All grinding and polishing tools are equipped with M14 threads and allow a very quick and tool-free roll change. By using a belt drive roller , round pipes can be completely processed just as easily on closed pipe constructions .
