FAQ
What are the applications of metal powders?
Some of the most common applications are:
Powder metallurgy: The production of metal parts from metal powder by pressing and sintering. This enables the production of complex shapes with high strength and low weight.
Additive manufacturing: The production of metal parts from metal powder using selective laser melting (SLM® / LPBF). This enables the production of individual and functional parts with high precision and flexibility.
Paint and varnish industry: The use of metal powder as pigments or fillers for paints and varnishes. This gives the coatings special optical or functional properties.
Electrical industry: The use of metal powder as conductors or insulators for electronic components. This improves the electrical performance and reliability of the components.
Metal powders can also be used in other sectors such as the automotive industry, the cosmetics industry, the printing industry or the nuclear industry.
