📌 Why Choose Ultra-Met Carbide Technologies?
Best For: Toolmakers and fabricators looking for “near-net-shape” blanks to reduce their own finishing costs, particularly in the Aerospace, Automotive, and Energy sectors.
- Precision “Green” Machining for Lower Finishing Costs: Ultra-Met’s standout capability is their ability to machine components in the “green state” (before final sintering). By delivering preforms that are geometrically closer to your final specifications, they significantly shorten your production cycle. This means you spend less time grinding down raw blocks and more time on high-value finishing.
- End-to-End Control: Ultra-Met handles the entire process in-house, starting with the formulation of Ready-To-Press (RTP) powders. Whether you need Nano-grain grades for aerospace precision or tough grades for mining, they blend specific binders (Cobalt/Nickel) and carbides to meet exact performance metrics. This vertical integration ensures consistent metallurgical quality from batch to batch.
- Versatile Pressing Capabilities: Ultra-Met offers a rare flexibility in sizing. With CNC presses ranging from 16 to 200 tons, they can handle intricate, high-volume parts with complex geometries. Uniquely, they also operate an ISO Press capable of manufacturing very large carbide components (over 15 inches long), making them a reliable problem solver for heavy-duty oil and gas applications that standard molders cannot handle.
- Independent Agility with In-House Tooling: As a leading independent American manufacturer, Ultra-Met designs and fabricates custom dies in-house. This allows for faster turnaround times on prototypes and custom orders. Their engineering team uses 3D modeling simulations to design dies that minimize flashing and ensure tight tolerances. Besides, three types of dies (single cavity, split cavity, and multiple-out) are employed in their powder metal manufacturing processes.
