ENABLING YOUR ADDITIVE REVOLUTION.

When it comes to additive manufacturing with metals, Heraeus is your trusted partner throughout the process. Combining decades of experience in metal handling and recycling with our thorough expertise in additive manufacturing, we are able to provide you with real peace of mind. Our expertise in processes, powders and printing gives you with the highest degree of design freedom for your components.

With high-quality powders, batch consistency and traceability, and variable particle size distribution, we can meet even very exacting additive manufacturing demands.

In addition to supplying powders, we are also your partner for printing components and can offer you the complete manufacturing service.

Available Particle Distributions

■■ 10-45µmCustomized distributions on request

Material DescriptionHigh strength and wear resistant components can be printed using this copper alloy powder. In comparison with pure copper, components can stand higher temperatures and show a decreased tendency to tarnish. Moreover, CuCr1Zr provides high thermal and electrical conductivity, and good mechanical strength where needed compared to other copper alloys.

■■ Good mechanical properties■■ High thermal conductivity■■ High electrical conductivity

Typical Applications■■ Electrical contact technology■■ Heat exchanger components■■ Induction coils

Powder Quality■■ Gas atomized particles■■ Spherical shape■■ High purity■■ Excellent flowability
