AMERIFORM® as mentioned previously, is a very tough, tenacious polymeric dry film. With its unique patent-holding properties, we have blended different types of polymers, which give the product its unique ability to handle very deep draws. Acting like an extension ladder, as one polymer reaches its end point for heat, the next one takes over thereby allowing the metal to flow as easily deep in the draw, as in the beginning of the draw
| This is an example of what Ameriform can do in a forming operation. |
| HDG .054 Inner Pillar Before Ameriform the reject rate was close to 100%. After changing to Ameriform as the forming dry film lube, there were no rejects! |
This stainless Transmission clutch housing is the only lube capable of consistently producing a quality part. Forming film thickness of 175 mil grams/ft2 (less than .1 mil). |
| Ameriform eliminated a reject rate of over 30%. A washing operation was eliminated and now goes directly to the seat cover and foam injection operation. Many production steps were eliminated. A good cost saving. |
This is a sample of draw-reverse draw. Ameriform has gone thru draw reverse-draw and progressive die operations without being reapplied. |
| This aluminum heat shield was running over 40% rate with 8 people required to run the press and remove forming oil. Today the press is coil fed with 1 person unloading/ inspecting. The thru put is increased by over 10% with no rejects. |
 |
| This Aluminized steel end of a catalytic converter is formed in a one station die. Split rejects were over 50% until Ameriform.The reject rate is less than .001% at present. |
| This oil pan was made with Ameriform from steel (yield spec .40) which was below the yield specification (.43 to .49). Before Ameriform production needed a yield spec of .46 -.49 to produce the part while experiencing a 23% scrap rate. Ameriform rejects are less than 1%. |
