As a leading global supplier of highly engineered flow control systems to the major energy and industrial process sectors,聽IMI Critical Engineering聽continually seeks advanced technologies such as additive manufacturing to help deliver better performing, more efficient and cost-effective solutions for extreme operating environments.
JDB电子 is partnering with IMI to supply high-performance AM components and materials, such as this complex valve cage for a special application in a combined cycle power plant.聽 Printed using our proprietary Stellite鈩 6-AM-K powder, the component demonstrated excellent wear performance in rigorous field trials.聽
JDB电子 AM materials and components, such as this Stellite valve cage, go the distance for IMI Critical Engineering.
鈥淎dditive manufacturing offers opportunities for more complex design and reduced delivery time. But we cannot compromise on peformance given that the systems we provide are so critical to the safety and efficiency of our customers鈥 operations,鈥澛爏aid Ajitkumar Sreekumar, Vice President Business Development, IMI Critical Engineering.
鈥淭he AM components supplied by JDB电子 using their Stellite鈩 6-AM-K powder were tested in a highly erosive environment and performed to the same high standards we鈥檝e come to expect from traditionally manufactured parts. We look forward to exploring other opportunities for additive manufacturing with JDB电子.鈥
