EMAG solutions for difficult materials

The development of the automotive, aerospace and other industrial sectors poses a huge challenge for the processing industry, as more and more difficult materials are processed and more complex geometries are created as these industries develop and advance technology. New parts are being used. The new processes required to manufacture these components must ensure an efficient production process and ensure absolute process integrity.

For this trend, EMAG ECM GmbH, part of the EMAG Group, uses what they call PECM (P stands for “precision”), providing solutions for a variety of difficult-to-machine materials. From the outset, they paid special attention to the difficult tasks required to process complex parts.

PECM for machining difficult 2D and 3D structural workpieces

"In the processing of high-strength alloys, many users still rely on high-speed milling and EDM," EMAG ECM technology sales manager Chad Keller said. "But this technology has its own disadvantages, such as the tool wear is very large, Moreover, the high temperature causes adverse effects on the material. In PECM, these problems do not exist, and even if these phenomena occur, the impact is negligible. In fact, this is the special advantage of the process."

The process has an outstanding advantage: when machining high-strength alloys (also known as "superalloys") and other difficult-to-machine materials, the tool has essentially no significant wear. The surface quality of the product is very high, there is no burr, and there is no structural damage to the material. Therefore, some conventional processes will no longer be required, such as deburring after the milling process, because the PECM process not only enables fine forming but also does not leave burrs.

Safety Grating

Our safety grating create safer working conditions across a variety of industrial environments. Some of the industries that benefit from using our products in the construction of their walkways, ladders, stairs, ramps.
