Plansee

🚀 Leading the Way in Additive Manufacturing! 🚀 In October 2024, our experts gave a presentation on additive manufacturing at Plansee at WorldPM24 in Yokohama. Dirk Handtrack presented a detailed comparison of various additive manufacturing processes for tungsten heavy alloys and compared the mechanical properties achieved with conventional manufacturing. 🛠️🔬 We are proud to announce that these outcomes are published in the prestigious Journal of the Japan Society of Powder and Powder Metallurgy within the article “Additive Manufacturing of Tungsten Heavy Alloys – A Technology Assessment of Sinter-based AM Processes”.📄🎉 This scientific paper was written in collaboration with Lukas Partner, Rafael Ferreira Cury, Mahot Pascal and Bernhard Mayr-Schmölzer. The article highlights the results of investigations on sintering-based additive manufacturing processes carried out with elemental powder mixtures to produce WHA parts. The sintering densities, microstructures, purities and mechanical properties achieved were compared with the minimum requirements of the current ASTM standard B777 and the typical values of the conventional PM process. 🧪📊 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dCz4k7NH A big thank you to our dedicated team for their outstanding work and to everyone who supported us!

Successful EFDS workshop on the raw material supply of the future 🔄   On 8 and 9 April, the EFDS workshop “Raw material supply of the future - circular economy, challenges and opportunities for materials in thin-film technology” took place in Kempten, co-organized by Plansee Composite Materials in Lechbruck. With around 25 participants from the industry, including suppliers, customers and market players in the field of targets for tool and component coatings, we had an intensive exchange of views on sustainability and efficiency. One highlight was the presentation by Peter Polcik, EFDS board member and Head of Development & Product Manager at Plansee, on the topic of "The life cycle of target materials: Thoughts on cost aspects and the CO2 footprint". The workshop was completed by an exciting tour of our production site in Lechbruck. 🏢 Many thanks to all participants and to European Society of Thin Films for the great cooperation! 🌍   #EFDS #plansee #rohstoffversorgung #kreislaufwirtschaft #dünnschichttechnik #sustainability #workshop #thinfilm #rawmaterialsupply #circulareconomy
