Nickel-based materials impress with their high strength and excellent properties under extreme operating conditions. These include, for example, high temperatures up to over 1,000 °C and corrosive surrounding media. Typical applications are found, for example, in turbine blades of gas turbines or aircraft engines. A component produced from metal powder in metal 3D-printing also meets your requirements in the field of prototyping or series application.
With over 40 qualified metal materials, Rosswag Engineering offers a globally unique selection and thus the right material for many metal 3D printing applications. The classification of the materials in Technology Readiness Level (TRL) shows the maturity of a material from initial qualification to series production.
As a customer, you benefit from our expertise in processing all materials in a holistic process chain with the appropriate process parameters in each case.
