The Z-Fact0r solution contributes to prevent defective parts to be sintered and reduces the number of defects during the machining of sintered parts. Most of the defective, very hard components, cannot be recovered by further machining or by healing operations and must thus be fully scrapped. Besides these recyclable materials there are also losses on the different production steps: from milling, spray drying, pressing, green machining and sintering.
With lesser defective part manufacturing, in the same proportion as HSS (raw material), oil consumption from the grinding machine (used as a coolant and in order to reduce friction between the tool and the part) is reduced, and the abrasive material waste generated from the cutting tool is also reduced, something which comes along with the oil as waste waters. Also, further upstream, the usage of salts for the heat treatment process also diminishes.
