Additively manufactured solutions made of molybdenum, tungsten and cemented carbide:
CERATIZIT and PLANSEE, both part of the Austrian Plansee Group, are excited to announce their first-ever joint participation at the upcoming Formnext exhibition in Frankfurt. This collaboration will enable the two companies to offer their customers a wide range of additive manufacturing solutions using the refractory metals molybdenum and tungsten, as well as cemented carbide.
By combining the advantages of additive manufacturing processes with the unique material properties of molybdenum, tungsten, and cemented carbide, CERATIZIT and PLANSEE can provide their customers with unparalleled benefits. As the world market leader in molybdenum and tungsten products, PLANSEE is the only company capable of producing additively manufactured components from molybdenum, which exhibit similar properties to conventionally manufactured TZM (Titanium-Zirconium-Molybdenum). Additionally, the company produces components made from tungsten and tungsten heavy alloy.
CERATIZIT, on the other hand, is now able to 3D print all conventional cemented carbide grades from its extensive portfolio, eliminating the need for separate powder development. This includes the more sustainable cemented carbide grades from the upGRADE range, which consist of 50-99% reclaimed carbide powder. These grades not only offer superior performance through the latest metallurgical processes but also significantly reduce environmental impact.
