Contact us today to schedule a G20® assessment to uncover your facilities Powder Metal cost savings opportunities. Why is G20® effective?
Speed: Burgess-Norton requires a minimum of your time to assess your savings potential.
Experience: Our Powder Metal expertise allows us to identify and prioritize components which can benefit most
from conversion to Powder Metal.
Technical Support: Engineering assets are made available to you to ensure all component conversions
are consistent with your application's performance requirements.
- Soft Magnetic Composites (SMC)
Soft Magnetic Composites (SMC) are insulation coated ferrous powder metal (PM) materials that are molded into a net—or near net—shape component. A high-pressure compaction process is applied to mold SMC components into a variety of complex shapes capable of producing three dimensional magnetic flux patterns. Both shape capability and unique magnetic properties make components produced from SMC a superior alternative to lamination stack technology.
Burgess-Norton’s SMC application team is a recognized leader in the industry. Our specialization in the compaction of complex components and ability to define magnetic fields in three dimensions enable customers to create improved or entirely new machine concepts from the parts we design. Additional benefits include enhanced performance technology and reduced costs, making Burgess-Norton the logical partner for SMC products.
