Hexagonal boron nitride (white graphite) plays an increasingly important role in the industrial field due to its unique physical properties. Its application in aluminum extrusion and hot forming processes demonstrates its great potential as a high-performance material. Superplastic forming technology allows the manufacturing of parts with complex geometries and near-net shapes, which is particularly useful for materials such as aluminum, titanium, and nickel alloys. This process involves heating the material to a specific temperature to exhibit superplasticity, enabling uniform stretching without local thinning or internal defects. In superplastic forming, the use of a parting layer is crucial. It must provide effective separation and lubrication between the mold and the material while maintaining appropriate adhesion. This balance is essential to ensure that the material can uniformly conform to the mold shape and to prevent the formation of difficult-to-remove residues on the forming tools. The development of water-based hexagonal boron nitride coatings provides a solution for superplastic forming. These coatings not only provide excellent lubrication while maintaining the necessary adhesion but also have the capability of being applied automatically, making the processing more economical and efficient. Moreover, as the coating does not leave residues on the tools after forming, it helps to reduce downtime, simplify the production process, and lower overall costs.

💡One thing is clear: the #laser has become indispensable in the processing of superhard materials such as polycrystalline diamond (PCD). Its speed and cost advantages over grinding are obvious. But how exactly should the laser be used? And how exactly can the advantages mentioned be quantified? These are questions to which we provides further answers. 👉 Read more in our blog post! #diamond #striveforthebest #pcd #superhard #processing

Permanent magnets are materials that are able to generate a constant magnetic field without the need of an external power source. There are several types of permanent magnets, such as ferrite, #AlNiCo, #NdFeB and #SmCo magnets. The manufacturing process varies depending on the type of magnet, but generally includes the following steps: #Powder production: grinding raw materials, mixing raw materials, producing a material that can be processed by pressing. #Pressing: The powder is pressed into shape under high pressure. The mold can be the final shape of the magnet or a pre-product that is further processed. During the pressing process, an external magnetic field may be applied to orient the elementary magnets.   #Sintering/annealing: A sintering process (metallic binders) or annealing process (plastic containing binders) is usually used to obtain mechanical strength. In individual cases, pressing can also produce a sufficiently strong body (only by form fit, with subsequent surface sealing).   #Corrosion-protection: Oxidation in air and moisture leads to changes in magnetic properties and strength. Therefore, the magnet bodies may be coated e.g. with nickel or plastic.   #Magnetization: Depending on the temperature applied, the permanent magnet must be re-magnetized. This can be done by applying an external magnetic field or by heating to a critical temperature and then cooling in a magnetic field. #powderpress #podercompacting #tailermade #powdermetallurgy

🌟 Innovations in Bearing Manufacturing: Embracing Laser Deposition Brazing 🌟 In the realm of industrial manufacturing, the evolution of production techniques continually pushes boundaries and unlocks new possibilities. Today, I'm thrilled to share insights into a groundbreaking advancement in the fabrication of plain bearings. Traditionally, the production of large industrial slide bearings has relied on casting processes, which come with their set of limitations and challenges. However, the emergence of laser deposition brazing has ushered in a new era of possibilities, particularly in removing the use of lead while maintaining performance and efficiency. Laser deposition brazing presents a compelling alternative by enabling the precise buildup of thin layers, typically just a few millimeters thick, using conventional bronze materials. This innovative technique not only enhances manufacturing flexibility but also aligns with sustainability goals by removing reliance on lead-based alloys. One of the standout advantages of laser deposition brazing is its ability to offer unparalleled precision and control in the deposition process, ensuring the creation of highly tailored bearing surfaces that meet exacting specifications. Furthermore, the versatility of this method allows for the seamless integration of various materials, optimizing bearing performance across diverse applications and operating conditions. By embracing these new manufacturing technologies, companies can not only enhance the quality and reliability of their products but also drive progress towards more sustainable and environmentally conscious practices. At Laserline, we are committed to staying at the forefront of technological innovation, and we're excited about the potential that laser deposition brazing holds for advancing bearing manufacturing processes.
