Farm Machinery and Equipment
Components used in the agricultural and
construction industries must endure high wear and
heavy loads. Product performance is constantly being
pushed to the next level, where components are
expected to last longer and be cost effective.
Austempering is a proven way to increase the strength
and performance of many different components. The
agricultural industry has taken a keen interest in
Austempered components for their excellent wear
characteristics. Companies such as John Deere,
Caterpillar, CNH Global and many other use Austempered
parts to increase the performance of their equipment,
thus increasing productivity for their customers.
Applied Process can demonstrate for you the material
properties and characteristics obtained in Austempered
components, along with examples of successful
applications. Many customers have saved money by
switching from forgings to low-cost castings, which
are subsequently Austempered to produce the best
possible properties. We can help you select the
material/process combination that is right for your
components and applications. We will provide your
design engineers with property data they can use in
designing Austempered parts, and discuss your
applications.
