HIGH-TECH AND MATERIAL SCIENCE

Turning industrial component challenges into working innovations through high-tech additive manufacturing and material science are what drives us every day.

We realize complex innovations by multidisciplinary projects based on our key areas of expertise ensuring the highest quality standards and component reliability.

MULTI-VOLUME VARIABLE LASER ENERGY DENSITY

A new optimization world is now within reach.

AENIUM “Multivolume variable LASER energy density” [MVLED] method allows us to program the desired part microstructures and increases close-inert porosity over certain volumes of the part. Depending on the metallurgy alloy, our energy LASER algorithms allow us to achieve variation into different volumes, surfaces or shells into the same part, having a disruptive precise control over different material properties before heat treatment, HIP and postprocessing. Some of the achievements with [MVLED] :

Fatigue limit (up to 52 % variation)
Elastic modulus (up to 50 % variation)
Elongation at break (up to 43 % variation)
Thermal conductivity (up to 42 % variation)
Hardness (up to 38 % variation)
Charpy impact strength (up to 26 % variation)
Creep (Cold Flow) (up to 25% variation)
Specific weight (up to 10% variation)
Outgassing limit (TML) (up to 6.0 % variation)

Tailoring LASER energy density we are able to improve your components through the most complex AM approach to material engineering applied to your parts.

Imagine a unique part with some high conductive thermal volumes and thermal bridge breaking over complex shells as a heat flux guideline manufactured in the same material all over it. Thermal/electrical insulating and conductive behaviours over the same part through additive manufacturing.

Material requirements are commonly one of the critical barriers on common additive manufacturing. Certified solutions are needed for ensuring part performance following UE / US or other technical standards for each field and certification.
