Polema powder metallurgy plant (part of PMH) took part in the III International conference on the practical application of additive technologies in various fields of production.
On the world day of 3D industry employees, Pavel Marusin, head of the technology Department of POLEMA, spoke at a conference organized under the leadership Of the center for additive technologies (Voronezh). Since the Foundation of the center, POLEMA has become its reliable partner in the supply of metal powder materials for 3D printing.
As the head of the technology Department Pavel Marusin noted, POLEMA has now mastered the technology of manufacturing analogues of such popular foreign materials as 316L, PH-1, Inconel 625, 718, 738, HX, MP-1, which allows Russian consumers to use materials of domestic production, thereby contributing to the implementation of the current "import Substitution" program in Russia.
As part of his report, Pavel Marusin also spoke about the newly developed heat-resistant alloys PR-KHN51KVMTYUB (analogous to EP741NP) and PR-KHN60VMTYUB (analogous to Inconel 738) for use in additive manufacturing in the manufacture of parts for the aerospace industry, as well as about the interest of foreign companies and current work on the use of refractory materials such as tungsten and tungsten carbide for 3D printing.
"At the moment, we are seeing a constant increase in demand for metal powder materials for additive manufacturing. Recently, the volume of production of powders for 3D printing manufactured by POLEMA is from 800 to 1200 kg per month with an active tendency to increase, which is almost 2-3 times more than the volume of orders for this type of product last year, " Pavel Marusin said in his report.
The company produces most of the materials for additive technologies for domestic UEC enterprises, 3D printing service centers, and research institutes. Powders meet all the requirements for materials for additive manufacturing, have the necessary sphericity, fluidity and other characteristics, and have been successfully tested on both domestic and foreign printers.
