Looking for Consortium Partners – Powder Technologies, Recycling & Additive Manufacturing for Repair Applications

We offer integrated expertise in powder technology and additive manufacturing, with the posiibility of the reuse and qualification of materials for advanced part production.

Core Competencies:

• Advanced powder characterization
  – Particle size distribution (laser diffraction)
  – Morphology (SEM), flowability, bulk density
  – Chemical purity (O, N, H, C, S)
  – Thermal behavior (DSC, TGA), sintering kinetics (dilatometry)

• Powder processing & feedstock preparation
  – Mechanical milling, mixing, granulation
  – Feedstock formulation for PIM (MIM/CIM) and binder-based AM
  – Qualification of recycled powders or industrial by-products

• Additive manufacturing prototyping
  – Design and fabrication of complex geometries using SLM, SLS, Binder Jetting
  – Adaptation of process parameters for reused/reconditioned materials

• Post-treatment and material characterization
  – Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) to improve density, eliminate internal porosity, and enhance the mechanical properties and reliability of sintered or additively manufactured parts.

  -Debinding, sintering, thermal treatments under controlled atmospheres
  – Microstructure analysis SEM/EBSD mechanical testing
  – Evaluation of performance after reuse or repair
