Alloyed and TANIOBIS announced their new collaboration to identify, develop, produce, and implement innovative high quality titanium and refractory alloy metal powders.
Alloyed provides a unique stack of technologies for the manufacture of advanced metal components by additive and traditional means.
Formerly known as H.C. Starck Tantalum & Niobium (Ta&Nb), TANIOBIS is now part of the JX Metals Group and produces high-quality materials, powders, and alloys based on tantalum and niobium. The two companies complement each other extremely well in terms of mission and capabilities. Their common goal is to develop alloy metal powders for advanced manufacturing applications, including additive manufacturing (AM).
The key focus on AM
To open up the material palette for additive manufacturing, this alliance will take advantage of a full end-to-end solution for the material development process, including material analysis and qualification, material production, component design and performance, and also into pilot production.
Michael Holmes, Managing Director of Alloyed, commented: “At Alloyed we are very happy to be working with the global team at TANIOBIS to progress innovations with new titanium and refractory alloys for AM. The Alloys By Design (ABD) platform, coupled with TANIOBIS’ long-standing and world-leading expertise with tantalum and niobium materials has the potential to open up some new and very exciting application areas for advanced manufacturing applications. This capability together with the Betatype technology stack for adding performance to critical components makes this alliance even more powerful. We are excited to bring these developments to fruition in due course.”
Katarzyna Kosowski, who heads up Corporate Business Development & Communication at TANIOBIS, added: “There is great synergy between TANIOBIS and Alloyed that I believe will serve our clients in limitless ways when it comes to providing end-to-end solutions for new and greatly improved applications with metal AM technologies. By collaborating with the experts at Alloyed and their exceptional ABD platform, we are extending our reach and capabilities into new and innovative areas for advanced manufacturing and particularly for additive manufacturing. The opportunities that AM affords has been well documented, but unlocking new materials for AM remains a constant goal. Together with Alloyed, we at TANIOBIS hold one of the keys.”
Both companies are currently working on a broad spectrum of projects, some with third parties, for a range of applications across the medical, aerospace, and e-mobility industries. They will have a combined presence at the upcoming Formnext Connect virtual event 10-13 November this year to give the industry more insights into their collaboration.
