Contact Professional Engineers with Expertise in Metallurgical Analysis

There are certain features that every precision engineering company must have. These include resources such as CNC machines as well as the capability of carrying out metallurgical analysis besides providing high quality machine parts. Top precision engineering companies such as Precision Products Inc., (PPI) are well known throughout the US not only for their high quality of precision products that include extrusion parts but also their valuable resources in industrial metrology and metallurgical analysis.

PPI manufactures a large selection of extrusion parts especially for the textiles industry. These include idler rolls and aspirators as well as interlacing jets, ceramic guides, texturing jets and thread up tools. There are occasions when the parts required are new in nature and have not been produced earlier. In such cases, PPI has the resources of metallurgical analysis using which the sample part is identified in terms of its constituent metals/alloys.

The professional engineering company has a sophisticated X-Ray Fluorescence machine using which all metals and alloys can be analyzed in seconds and the exact content can be determined in a non-destructive test. This is a sure method of confirming that the metal used is the correct one. It also minimizes your risk and liability and ensures that the product will work adequately.

Once the metallurgical analysis has been carried out, it becomes a simple task to seek out the material and manufacture the product with the help of CNC machines such as those for milling and turning operations. The capability of carrying out metallurgical analysis ensures that both the incoming raw material and the finished products can be checked. PPI has a rigorous ISO 9001: 2008 quality system and so suitable procedures are rigidly performed to ensure that each product meets the specification set.

For all Precision Drilling Work with EDM, Contact the Experts

Precision engineering companies today require several resources and skills. They also need the capability to meet different requirements of customers. Precision Products Inc (PPI), an ISO 9001 2008 certified company, has skills, resources and the capability to meet the requirements of customers in industries as diverse as aerospace and food & beverage, jet turbine fuel systems and automotive besides power generation, textiles and defense among several others.

PPI has resources such as not only the CNC machines for milling, turning, high speed hard milling and multi-tasking operations but also EDM machining and current drilling equipment. The EDM or Electrical Discharge Machining equipment offers one of the most accurate manufacturing processes available today. One of its many functions includes that of the EDM drill. This is a very valuable capability that is especially required by sophisticated industries that include both aerospace and jet turbine fuel systems.

An EDM drill used for making very fine holes is also known as the EDM hole popper.  This is one of the three main types of EDM that also include the wire EDM and the sinker EDM. The EDM drill is used specifically for the task of drilling rows of fine holes into the leading and trailing edges of turbine blades used for jet engines.

These fine holes cool the blades and thereby serve to expand the thermal range of capability of these blades. The blades can therefore be used at far high temperatures once these holes have been drilled into them. The EDM drill is also used to create microscopic orifices for the components for fuel systems as well as in spinnerets used for synthetic fibers such as rayon.
