Heraeus
We create high-quality solutions for our customers and strengthen their long-term competitiveness by combining material expertise with technological know-how. Our ideas are focused on important issues such as the environment, energy, health, mobility and industrial applications. Our portfolio ranges from components to coordinated material systems which are used in a wide variety of industries, including the steel, electronics, chemical, automotive and telecommunications industries.

Profile Description

Additive manufacturing processes are extremely specific. Different powders, printers, and processes are needed, depending on the applications. All parameters need to be carefully synchronized. That is the only way to ensure that the built components have the desired characteristics and the process achievs reliable results. And that might be the only possibility the process can be designed quickly and cost-efficiently.

A comprehensive portfolio of materials that include customer-specific alloys that must be optimized to their application in 3D printing provides a basis for making the right choice. High purity spherical particles, precise particle size distribution, and absence of gas cavities and satellites are particularly important. This makes it possible to reach essential characteristics such as ideal flowability and apparent density to be consistent from batch to batch.

Heraeus metal powders for powder bed processes such as EBM (electron beam melting) and LBM (laser beam melting, also called selective laser melting) are atomized crucible-free in the EIGA (electrode induction melting gas atomization) process (to over 3,000° C), and thereby meet all necessary quality requirements. Our portfolio of powders includes PGMs (platinum group metals), gold and silver alloys, refractory metals, amorphous metals, titanium, titanium aluminides, and customer-specific alloys. For every metal powder we develop the optimum printing parameters for the particular component.

Our proven expertise in your process is based on many years of experience. Qualification processes based on standards of the automobile industry, processes such as simulation for efficient process modeling, the transparent traceability of our batches, and our wide range of services in the area of precious metals will help you in all phases of your projects.

As an independent service provider, we master all of the relevant technologies. Contact us!
