The images show the quality after chemical attack
1ST SAMPLE: SEM X 37 VIEW CUT CROSSWISE
Sample 1 is 625 powder (-150/45µ) coated on a steel base. The SEM analysis shows no cracks or porosity and an interface of 280µ.
2ND SAMPLE: SEM X 37 VIEW CUT CROSSWISE
After bending 180° no cracks or porosity are observed in the interface and few oxides from the process.
DED: A CHALLENGING TECHNOLOGY REQUIRES THE BEST POWDERS
Do you need speed?
High sphericity of powders means high flowability in the powder feeding system. Imphytek Powders enable higher feeding rates, thus processing speed, of your process.
Do you need Reliability?
Imphytek sources certified feedstock of large lot size from Aperam Alloys Imphy and therefore offers reliable chemical consistency from lot to lot. In addition to this, the high sphericity of our powders improves the stability of the powder feeding and deposition systems. The low O² content and porosity contributes significantly to the mechanical characteristics of the manufactured part.
Do you need Availability?
Imphytek is backed and sourced by one of the world leading suppliers of nickel alloys. This enables a secure supply chain that guarantees the availability of powder for your critical needs. Our optimised and engineered powders are available from our logistics base in France and can be shipped within 48 hours to destinations around the world.
Do you need Precision?
Plasma atomised powder manufactured with Tekna’s proprietary RF induction systems is renowned to be highly spherical and dense with excellent flowability. These properties enable a stable supply of powder into DED processes, with a regular flight path before deposition, which enables high precision.
