Powder Metals

Powder metals are produced with special procedures such as atomisation, reduction, electrolysis, or mechanical disintegration. They have the advantage that their composition can be exactly controlled. They are especially pure and offer the option, for example, to create complex shapes with minimal material loss.

Scope of Application

• Welding technology: Powder metals are utilised for the production of cored wires and as a filler metal, in order to effectively protect surfaces from wear and corrosion.

• Additive manufacturing: Additive manufacturing enables the precise and efficient production of complex building components from gas-atomised powders.

• Metal Injection Moulding (MIM): Metal Injection Moulding utilises powder metals to produce complex three-dimensional components in large quantities.

• Automotive industry: Powder metals are often used in the automotive industry to produce resilient high-precision parts such as cogwheels, connecting rods, and camshafts.

• Aerospace industry: In the aerospace industry, powder metals are used to produce heat-resistant and light turbine components.

• Medical technology: In the production of biocompatible implants, the focus is mainly on the purity of the used powder metals.

Our Delivery Range

We offer a broad selection of welding and deposition welding powders for a variety of industrial applications:

• Ferro alloys (e.g. FeCr, FeNb, FeB, FeSi, FeTi)

• Carbides (e.g. CrC, BC, boride)

• Pure metals (e.g. Ni, Ti, Cu) for the production of cored wires for arc welding

• Gas-atomised powders for additive manufacturing and deposition welding procedures (PTA, LMD, thermal spraying, etc.)

• Water-atomised powders for MIM
