    Linde Introduces Two Portfolios for Quality Powder Metal Processes

    • Expert session highlights proven methods for sintering optimization

    Texas, Linde LLC will showcase two new portfolios for improving the quality of powder metal (PM) sintering, Metal Injection Molding (MIM) and additive manufacturing (AM) processes. In addition, Dan Enoch, Linde Applications Sales Engineer, Heat Treatment, will discuss experiences and best practices for optimizing PM sintering in a session on Tuesday, June 19 at 8 a.m. CT. The two Linde technology portfolios to be introduced at PowderMet booth #618 include:

    • The SINTERFLEX® atmosphere control systems (ACS) for PM and AM processing. The SINTERFLEX ACS portfolio now encompasses four tailored solutions and related components for these metal processes: 1) Press and sinter, 2) Metal Injection Molding, 3) Vacuum sintering, and 4) Sintering of binder-jetted 3D components.
    • The ADDvance® AM technology for improving quality before, during and after AM processing. The ADDvance technology suite includes the portable ADDvance O2 precision atmosphere monitoring system, ideal for laser powder-bed fusion processes and powder storage. The portfolio also includes ADDvance® Cryoclean which uses carbon dioxide (CO2) and an abrasive for cleaning surface residues from parts after 3D printing.
