Skintraflux process
The Skintraflux process is an innovative technique used in metal processing, particularly in the production of metal parts with complex geometries and thin wall thicknesses. This process makes it possible to produce metal parts with a uniform and precise surface without the need for additional processing steps such as grinding or polishing.
The Skintraflux process begins with the creation of a model or mold that defines the desired final geometry of the metal part. This model is then placed in a special molding chamber filled with a mixture of metallic powders and a binder.
Under high pressure and temperature, the mixture is compacted in the molding chamber and the binder is solidified to create a solid shape that accurately reflects the contours of the model. This process is called sintering and results in the formation of a precise and dense metal part. After sintering, the metal part is removed from the molding chamber and can undergo further processing steps as required, such as the removal of support structures or surface treatment.
The Skintraflux process offers a number of advantages over conventional manufacturing methods. By using powder metallurgy, complex geometries and thin-walled structures can be produced with high precision, resulting in improved material utilization and reduced material losses. In addition, the process enables the production of metal parts with a smooth surface and tight tolerances without the need for additional machining steps, which shortens production time and reduces overall costs.
Overall, the Skintraflux process is a promising technique in metal processing that makes it possible to produce high-quality metal parts with complex geometries efficiently and cost-effectively.
