Screws & Barrels
A REVOLUTION IN WEAR RESISTANCE TECHNOLOGY FOR PLASTIC & RUBBER INDUSTRIES
REDUCE DOWNTIME BY 60%! REDUCE REBUILD COST BY 50%! & INPROVE PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY!US GEAR & PUMP'S MICRO TREATMENT PROCESS IS A EXTREMELY WEAR RESISTANT TREAMENT TO VIRTUALLY ANY SIZE INJECTION MOLDING OR EXTRUSION SCREW & BARREL. THIS PROCESS PROVIDES A CRACK FREE TREAMENT WITH HARDNESS VALUE RANGING FROM 55-75 ON THE ROCKWELL "C" SCALE PROPRIETARY COMPOSITIONS OF VARIOUS CARBIDES, CERAMICS, AND ALLOYS ARE INCORPORATED TO ACHIEVE ABRASION RESISTANT CHARACTERISTICS UNMATCHED BY ANY OF THE CONVENTIONAL HARDFACING ALLOYS POPULAR TODAY! THIS PROCESSCOMPLETELY ELIMINATES THE NECESSTY FOR CHROME PLATING, FLAM HARDENING, OR NITRIDING, AS THE ENTIRE SCREW SURFACE IS TREATED , INCLUDING THE ROOT AND FLITE SIDES. THIS TREATMENT IS MUCH MORE WEAR RESISTANT THAN ANY OF THE THREE FOREMENTIONED PROCESS, WHICH MAKES THE PROCESS EXCELLENT FOR SCREWS EXPOSED TO FIBER FILLED COMPOUNDS. FURTHERMORE, THE PROCESS REQUIRES NO PREHEAT OR POSTHEAT PROCEDURE, AND DURING APPLICATION, COMPONENTS RARELY EXCEED TEMPERATURES OF 350 F. THE LOW HEAT UNPUT HELPS PREVENT DISTORTION, MINIMIZING COSTLY STRAIGHTENING AND/OR MACHINING TIME. IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR THE REPAIR OF D-2 TOOLSTEEL COMPONENTS, TYPICALLY SCRAPPED WHEN COMPLETELY WORN. PREPARATION FOR SCREW REBUILDINGREQUIRES ONLY TOUCH UP WORK AND THE REMOVAL OF OLD CHROME BEFORE THE TREATMENT.
