Bimetallic Cylinders
It is important that both extruder and injection cylinders are in good condition in order to maintain good productivity and a stable process. Many cylinders supplied by the OEM are nitride hardened but it is best to specify a high quality bimetallic alloy. Below are some of our common material options.
Cylinder Materials:
X-102®
-
Nickel rich Iron Boron Bimetallic alloy.
-
Cost effective choice for unfilled and lightly filled materials.
​
X-220™
​
-
Premium general purpose Bimetallic alloy.
-
Increased resistance to both Abrasion and Corrosion.
-
Suitable for up to 20% glass fibre content.
​
X-800®
​
-
Tungsten Carbide in a Nickel alloy matrix.
-
Outstanding resistance to both abrasion and corrosion
-
Essential for resins containing high percentage of aggressive fillers.
-
Also resists corrosive attack from aggressive volatiles.
​
X-306®
​
-
Excellent corrosion resistant Bimetallic alloy.
-
Suitable for the most corrosive resins and additives.
