VBN Components has developed a process for the manufacturing of pre-shaped components in an extremely highly alloyed PM (powder metallurgy) high speed steel. This means that no soft machining is needed (sawing, drilling, milling, etc.). The process also allows geometries that are not possible to produce with normal machining technologies.

Components up to 200 x 200 x 380 mm can be made with this technique, depending on geometry.
