Hyperion Materials & Technologies, a global materials science company that develops hard and super-hard materials for a wide range of industries and applications, received an Innovation Award this week at the GrindTec trade show in Augsburg, Germany, for its AM110 grade of tungsten carbide rod blanks used to make superalloy machining tools.
Grade AM110 was specially engineered by Hyperion’s materials experts to optimize the hardness, toughness, and galling resistance required for machining superalloys in today’s demanding industrial applications.
Aerospace, medical, and energy are among the targeted markets, where quality and productivity are critical in the manufacture of precision components.
“Winning this award is a testament to the hard work of everyone on the Hyperion team,” said JP Camardo, Hyperion’s General Manager of Carbide Rods.
“From the teams in the field to the research and development group, it was a true team effort to develop the ideal composition with grade AM110, delivering a product that provides a superior balance between wear, galling and toughness for superalloy machining.”
The GrindTec trade show and its sponsor, the Fachverband der Präzisionswerkzeugmechaniker e.V. (FDPW), are awarding prizes for products, processes, and services that stand out for their innovative strength and exceptional performance.
End milling tools made with grade AM110 rod blanks performed 35% better on INCONEL* workpieces than conventional tungsten carbide grades, according to Hyperion testing.
Grade AM110 carbide rods are available from Hyperion in a variety of dimensions and finishes, as sintered or ground to ISO h5 or h6 tolerances.
From March 15 to 18, visit booth 3099 in hall 3 at GrindTec, or go to https://www.hyperionmt.com/products/Carbide-rods/grade-AM110/ to learn more about Hyperion’s grade AM110 carbide rods, as well as the company’s full portfolio of tungsten carbide rods designed to meet a wide range of manufacturing requirements.
