Centrifugal Casting Centrifugal force is employed to exert pressure onto molten metal as it is poured into a spinning mold resulting in a dense part with a fine uniform grain structure. The centrifugal force presses the molten metal against the inner wall of the mold, densifying the metal. Ideal for cylindrical components exposed to frictional wear.Centrifugal force is employed to exert pressure onto molten metal as it is poured into a spinning mold resulting in a dense part with a fine uniform grain structure.

Investment Casting A process where wax patterns (assembled into trees) are used to form ceramic shells. The shells are filled with molten alloy material, and solidified to form a casting. The resulting cast component is then machined to meet the customer's requirements.A process where wax patterns (assembled into trees) are used to form ceramic shells.

Powder Metallurgy A process for making fully dense components with uniform microstructures free of non-metallic inclusions and defects. A mixture of metal powder and a binder is formed to shape through either a pressing or extrusion process. The diffusion of metal atoms between the alloy particles produces strong bonds between the particles.A process for making fully dense components with uniform microstructures free of non-metallic inclusions and defects.

Precision Machining with Stellite 6B Don't sacrifice toughness for wear resistance: Stellite 6B offers both. An extensive hot forging process transforms brittle ingot into the tough, wear-resistant Stellite 6B that meets aerospace material specification AMS 5894 requirements. Don’t let the hardness range of 33-43RC fool you, the surface of this material goes through an extensive transformation that provides unmatched wear resistance for such a tough material.Don't sacrifice toughness for wear resistance: Stellite 6B offers both.
