 Additive Manufacturing

We develop materials for the future As a world market leader, VDM Metals benefits from decades of experience in the production of nickel alloys and high-alloyed stainless steels. The company has made a name of itself in conventional manufacturing methods such as melting, casting, rolling or forging during the production of semi-finished products as primary material, having extended its production facilities for the manufacture of powder materials for Additive Manufacturing methods. VDM Metals produces high-performance alloys for the use in extreme conditions. Our materials resist high...

Manufacturing process Melting furnace Vacuum induction melting furnace (VIM) Atomizing zone, spraying cone Powder tower Inert waste gas Atomizing unit Pneumatic powder feed pipe Powder collection container Additive Manufacturing Additive Manufacturing is a technology of the future, as it enables the production of metallic components with complex structures accompanied by weight reduction at the same time. It is frequently impossible to manufacture such components with conventional technologies, or such production is very complicated and involved. 3D printing methods therefore represent an...

the powder collecting tank. In the plant the high-purity powder is produced by means of vacuum induction melting and inert gas atomization. The individual steps of the powder production are precisely coordinated to each other, as they affect the composition and purity of the powder. The entire process occurs in vacuum and inert gas conditions, so as to ensure as high a purity as possible. Process steps The production process follows the scheme outlined below: In the VIM furnace, the various alloy components for the material are melted and liquefied. This molten mass is then routed into a...

Our target industries The application of Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing methodsis increasingly becoming a standard across the production chains in most sectors of the industry. As a producer of high-alloyed and wrought materials, VDM Metals is partner of very demanding industries; so as a matter of course we are focusing on the development and production of powder alloys for different sectors. Target industries are: • Aerospace / Turbines • Land Based Gas Turbines • Oil and Gas Industry • Chemical Process Industry • Automotive Industry • Medical Device

Comprehensive customer support Customer relationships with VDM Metals mean access to a variety of first class services – services that really make the difference. Research and Development (R&D) New and more efficient processes and technologies often entail modified material requirements. Together with its customers, VDM Metals develops materials that correspond to these requirements. In doing so, we not only develop new materials but also retrieve new potentials for market approved alloys, which we qualify for new applications or convert into new product forms such as powder for instance....
