PyroGenesis Additive, a division of PyroGenesis Canada, has added to its product offerings a tungsten-free metal powder.
“The impact of tungsten inclusions in a final part can have serious consequences,” said Pierre Carabin, Chief Technology Officer of PyroGenesis. “They can be the cause of failures. Since the melting point of Tungsten is higher than that of Titanium, it does not melt during the AM printing process. As a result, tungsten inclusions can become preferred sites for crack initiation.”
PyroGenesis Canada designs, develops and manufactures plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch systems. With PyroGenesis’ extensive plasma expertise, PyroGenesis Additive is not only able to convert traditional metals and alloys into high purity spherical powders, but, according to the company, it can also create specialty powders on an exclusive basis.
