Multiple-Material Technology
|
|
The principle behind multiple-material technologies is localizing specific materials according to the mechanical properties best equipped to perform in the corresponding, local operating environment.
GKN Sinter Metals has done considerable work with duplex- and triplex-material components in layered, concentric and combination configurations. A number of components are either in production or development, including magnetic poles, timing cam shaft sprockets, cam shaft lobes, and main bearing caps.
