Extrusion Equipment Experts
High-Grade Materials
When it comes to building equipment for any type of extrusion, selecting materials that will stand up to the intense abrasion and caustic wear environments and excessive temperatures is critical. Diamond America uses only the highest grade materials, specifically tooled to handle challenging chemicals, minerals, and compounds.
Steel Selection
To increase accuracy and strength, all extrusion screws are cut from solid bars consisting of high-grade stainless steels and powdered metals. Diamond America also design and manufacture segmented screws to provide customers with the capability to replace high wear areas without having to replace the entire screw.
Metallurgy Expertise
In consultation with customers, the best alloy and heat treatment is determined for each particular extrusion process. The machine metals are finished in a high-hard state using cutting edge materials, including powdered metals. This allows Diamond America to maintain very high tolerances.
Hard Coatings
By analyzing a customer’s material and its chemical properties, Diamond America is able to select the best hard coating option for the specific process.
