SINTERING

In sintering we are also keeping pace with the latest technology. Hydrogen-nitrogen atmospheres provide the best sintered properties with consistent dimensions. Controlled atmospheres of nitrogen and hydrogen are used in either conventional or high-temperature sintering.

Conventional Belt Furnace

For our conventional sintering, the "green" compacts are placed on a continuous mesh belt. The belt slowly advances through the delubing, high heat and cooling zones of the furnace. The sintering process converts the compacted mechanical bonds between the powder particles into metallurgical bonds.

Draw Furnace

Rapid cooling of higher alloy materials can be used to eliminate standard heat treating techniques. Tempering is still required to relieve internal stresses.

Pusher Furnace

High temperature, pusher plate furnaces are used for sintering above 2200°F. These furnaces are used for enhanced properties in ferrous materials and also for stainless steel part sintering.

Carbon Analyzer

The Carbon Analyzer is another tester ASM uses to monitor our manufacturing processes. The analyzer monitors atmospheric conditions around the clock. It verifies the correct percent of total carbon in the finished product.

ASM Quality Policy: Through teamwork & technology the highest standards will be maintained to satisfy all of our customers needs
