Simply stated: The MIKRONITEŽ process is reinventing the engineer's choice of processing technology and often materials by requiring a re-thinking of all conventional rules and limitations of mass finishing. The value of improving materials to perform to expected engineered standards cannot be over-emphasized.
What Are The Key Advantages?
The MikroniteŽ process is a cost effective, efficient, environmentally safe and simple method of polishing and enhancing a broad range of materials (e.g., metals, ceramics, glass, plastics) and works universally without regard to the geometric shape of the material;
The MikroniteŽ process significantly improves the price/performance ratio of the finished product, an accomplishment not achieved by any other technology in the past few decades;
The MikroniteŽ process generally also results in manufacturing cost reduction and productivity gains. MikroniteŽ processed tooling generally exhibits several times normal tool life and improved cut quality. Longer tool life translates into less production downtime. In addition, the benefits of the MikroniteŽ process generally allow for the elimination of other manufacturing steps.
Ion Nitriding requires a vacuum chamber, with up to a 30-hour cycle time, and high alloy steels. MIKRONITEŽ does not have this limitation and can work on low alloy steels.
These are very job specific and often distort the net shape. The MIKRONITEŽ process is completely versatile and does not distort the size of the work piece.
Coating ;
Coating is limited to the ability of the part to hold the coating on it's surface. MIKRONITEŽ can often eliminate coatings, but where the material chemistry requires the buffer provided by the coating, MIKRONITEŽ prepares the surface for a more perfect coating layer with greater structural attachment.
