Case Study: Sintered Powder Disc for French Customer

Customer Overview

A customer from France required a custom-designed sintered powder disc for their filtration system. The customer needed precision filtration and high durability, with a strict requirement for material quality and dimensional accuracy. The order called for 400 pieces of the sintered discs to be delivered for use in industrial applications.

Product Specifications

· Product Name: Sintered Powder Disc
· Material: Stainless Steel 316L (SS316L)
· Dimensions: 8mm diameter, 1mm thickness
· Accuracy: 50µm filtration precision
· Quantity: 400 pieces

Challenges

The key challenge for this project was to create a sintered powder disc with exceptional dimensional accuracy and precision filtration while maintaining the durability and corrosion resistance required for industrial environments. Stainless Steel 316L was selected for its outstanding resistance to corrosion, particularly in harsh environments.

Additionally, the customer requested a filtration accuracy of 50µm, meaning that the sintered disc needed to filter out particles with an accuracy within this range while ensuring minimal pressure drop during operation. Achieving consistent quality across 400 pieces also required tight control over the manufacturing process.

Solution Provided

Material Selection: SS316L stainless steel was chosen for its superior corrosion resistance, particularly in acidic or saline environments, and its ability to maintain structural integrity under high temperatures and pressures.

Precision Manufacturing: The sintered powder disc was manufactured using advanced powder metallurgy techniques. This allowed us to create a porous structure with the required 50µm accuracy while ensuring a uniform distribution of pores for optimal filtration performance.

Dimensional Accuracy: The discs were manufactured with a precise diameter of 8mm and thickness of 1mm, ensuring they fit seamlessly into the customer’s filtration system. Our quality control processes ensured that each disc met the specified dimensional tolerances.

Batch Production: With an order of 400 pieces, it was essential to maintain consistent quality across the entire batch. Each disc underwent stringent testing to confirm it met the customer’s requirements for accuracy and filtration performance.

Testing & Validation: The sintered discs were tested for durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring they could withstand the customer's operating environment. The 50µm filtration accuracy was validated using specialized testing equipment to confirm the discs would meet the filtration standards needed.

Outcome

The 400 sintered powder discs were delivered to the customer in France, meeting all their requirements for material, dimensional accuracy, and filtration performance. The discs have performed exceptionally well in their application, providing consistent filtration and long-lasting durability. The customer was particularly pleased with the precision and reliability of the product, which integrated perfectly into their system.

This case study demonstrates our ability to deliver high-precision filtration components tailored to meet the specific needs of industrial customers, ensuring quality, performance, and customer satisfaction.
