WIth wear parts made of composites from the field of ceramics, a service life that is three to five times as long as that of martensitic or chrome steel can be achieved.
Metal Matrix Composites, combine the high resistance of the metal matrix with extremely hard ceramics. Porous preforms made of ceramic particles are produced in the process. The metallic molten mass penetrates into the porous ceramic network. The experience and knowledge are particular to the casting process in which two different materials - steel with a thichness of 7.85 g/cm³ and ceramic with a thickness of 1-3 g/cm³ - are combined and there is a thorought infiltration.
This combination makes the blow bars especially wear-resistance but at the same time very impact-resistant. WIth wear parts made of composites from the field of ceramics, a service life that is three to five times as long as that of martensitic or chrome steel can be achieved.
