Special Alloy Powder Pilot Production / Validation Technology Platform
■ Core Technology
• The high-flowability alloy powder is developed through the design and production of alloy materials, atmosphere control, powder particle size control, and granulation control technology. This improves the roundness and packing density of the powder, reduces the shrinkage rate of the alloy after sintering, and maintains the accuracy of the product
• For different powder forming and post-processing techniques, it provides powder forms suitable for the process, establish process parameters, and perform microstructure analysis, physical property analysis, and mechanical property analysis to establish optimal process parameters
■ Technology Capability / Equipment
■ Technology Differentiation
• A total solution that provides the design and development of specialty alloy powders before mass production, high-quality powder production, powder particle size control, process parameter development, and verification of powder material performance
■ Application Field
