Norimat does not position itself as just an SPS expert. We act as a technology partner, capable of :
Our ambition is simple : to supply tungsten carbides that enable tool manufacturers to stay one step ahead, without compromising on reliability, safety or regulations.
The key to our differentiation lies in Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS).
Unlike conventional sintering methods, SPS enables extremely rapid densification with low diffusion, resulting in a very fine microstructure.
SPS requires only a single sintering cycle, whereas conventional sintering requires several cycles, including a HIP stage. This reduces quality risks and significantly shortens production time, offering an attractive return on investment.
This microstructural control translates directly into :
The issue of cobalt is no longer optional. It is technical, regulatory and HSE-related.
Thanks to optimised formulations and the process leverage offered by SPS, Norimat is developing binderless solutions capable of improving the mechanical performance expected of demanding cutting tools.
Cobalt reduction is made possible by :
These solutions are designed for applications where high performance and REACH compliance must coexist over the long term.
