ENABLING YOUR ADDITIVE REVOLUTION.

When it comes to additive manufacturing with metals, Heraeus is your trusted partner throughout the process. Combining decades of experience in metal handling and recycling with our thorough expertise in additive manufacturing, we are able to provide you with real peace of mind. Our expertise in processes, powders and printing gives you with the highest degree of design freedom for your components.

With high-quality powders, batch consistency and traceability, and variable particle size distribution, we can meet even very exacting additive manufacturing demands.

In addition to supplying powders, we are also your partner for printing components and can offer you the complete manufacturing service.

Material DescriptionTi6Al4V is a high strength titanium alloy characterized by high corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, and biocompatibility. Therefore, it has applications in the aerospace, automotive, medical, chemical, and oil and gas industries. Grade 23 is characterized by a low oxygen content and well-suited for medical applications as well as for other applications that allow higher oxygen concentrations. It is recommended to be used at temperatures below 350°C (660°F).
