Example of Applications

  • Additive Manufacturing (AM)
    Supporting post-processing heat treatments for 3D printed parts, enhancing material properties and performance.
  • Sintering and Powder Metallurgy (PM)
    Facilitating the consolidation of metal powders into solid components with controlled density and microstructure.
  • High temperature testing
    Enabling materials characterization and quality assurance under extreme conditions.
  • Diffusion coating (e.g. surface hardening)
    Assisting in surface hardening processes to improve wear resistance and durability of components.
  • Diffusion bonding
    Aiding in the solid-state joining of similar or dissimilar materials for advanced engineering applications.
