Productivity gains

Looking at making your metallurgical processes more efficient and less costly? ECM solutions can help.

Costs savings 

ECM's low pressure carburizing and gas quenching solutions drive down costs of metallurgical processes. Gains range from massive drop in the costs due to IMPROVED quality to the possibility of opting for cheaper materials for equivalent, if not better parts properties.

Less expensive steels

Operated under vacuum, low pressure carburizing eliminates risks of oxidation associated with atmosphere carburizing, enabling the usage of less costly, less-alloyed steels (see how Ford saved on material). Better mechanical properties, obtained with the specific StopGQ gas quenching method, allow the design of parts with less expensive steel grades with maintained or improved impact and fatigue strengths results

Reduced costs due to IMPROVED quality

The perfect surface state of treated parts and improved control of deformation with gas quenching can lead to a massive drop in the costs due to improved quality. Uniformity of results greatly reduces the percentage of scrapped parts and the need for hard-stage rectifying operations.
