Sandvik Materials Technology will be among more than 400 exhibitors at IFPE 2014 in Las Vegas, the triennial exposition and technical conference.
“Sandvik is very much looking forward to IFPE 2014. This is an opportunity to present our extensive hydraulic and instrumentation tubing as well as optimized hollow bar materials to over 10,000 professionals at the Las Vegas Convention Center including creators, designers and product engineers”, said David Shollock, Sandvik Product Manager.
These products include Sandvik 3R60, the manufacturer’s ‘next-generation’ 316L grade straight length and coiled hydraulic and instrumentation tubing, which will be launched to North American customers for the first time at IFPE 2014. The material is optimized for hydraulic and instrumentation systems where standard steel grades such as AISI 316 and 316L are proving insufficient.
Sandvik will also exhibit stainless steel hollow bar with optimized machining properties for reduced tool wear and higher cutting speeds that contribute to increased productivity in component manufacture. Sandvik hollow bar is available in a wide range of sizes to reduce costs per component produced, while freeing up valuable machine time and cutting material waste for significant cost reductions, typically in the manufacture of valve bodies for fluid power systems.
