Gains & Losses

Infiltrants

When you use Ultra Infiltrant you not only gain, you lose:

Lose the need to inventory bulky infiltrant powder
Lose the development and maintenance costs associated with infiltrant tooling
Lose the tremendous cost associated with compacting presses to produce the infiltrant slugs
Lose the labor and overhead costs related to producing the infiltrant slugs
Lose the additional lubricant that can contaminate the sintering furnace

So what do you gain?

Easy to handle - no breakage problems means no waste
Improved productivity - faster assembly of the infiltrant with the green compact
Easy to automate placement of the infiltrant - strong, regular shape
No waste or infiltrant scrap - lower production costs
Precise infiltrant weight control - uniform, consistently infiltrated product
Consistent response in sintering - no segregated powder ingredients
Higher infiltrant efficiency - no lubricant loss, no residue
Uniform copper distribution in the final part - consistent size, strength, hardness
Final part ready to use - no residue, no erosion
