Umicore introduces new tailored FKS material grades
2010-10-20
The key properties for PGM materials in high temperature applications are creep strength and creep elongation which significantly determine performance, liability and life time of a PGM component. Depending on the individual field of application either one or both factors can be predominant.
FKS Agilit:
The choice for high creep elongation with reasonable creep rupture strength.
Example: Components that are subject to frequent temperature cycling and components that are partially blocked due to their geometry thus material needs to deform without to crack (like stirrer cells).
FKS Rigilit:
The choice for high creep rupture strength at acceptable creep elongation.
Example: Components that are subject to normal operational loads and local stress areas (like refining chambers).
FKS Saeculit:
The choice for very high creep rupture strength with low relevance regarding creep elongation.
Example: Components that are subject to very high operational loads (like bushing base-plates).
