Machinery and Machine Tools
Unibar is used extensively in the machinery and machine tool industry sector: Unibar is used to achieve significantly improved machining times and reduce costs. The mechanical properties of Unibar ensure quality and reliability are maintained throughout the manufacturing and operational life. Machining operations have shown to be up to 50% faster on Unibar Iron when compared with steels, as well as a 25% improvement on profile turning and grinding operation times
	Applications within the machinery market sector that Unibar has replaced steel or sand castings as material of choice, include: Machine bed tables Machine tool heads Gears and brakes Rolls and rollers for printing press machines Rolls and rollers for cloth manufacturing Plus many more...
	Advantages over Steel: Improved machinability Extended tool life 50% faster turning times 25% faster grinding times High wear resistance Excellent noise and vibration damping 10% weight reduction against Steel Superb corrosion resistance No stress relieving required	Advantages over Traditional Sand Castings: Absence of porosity Absence of shrinkage Absence of sand inclusions Design and Production Elimination of costly patterns Elimination of mismatch and cast dimensional problems Availability from stock Limited storage required Versatility for varied design Excellent noise and vibration damping Elimination of burrs on internal machined faces
