PyroGenesis Announces Significant Development: PyroGenesis Additive Can Now Offer Tungsten-Free Titanium Powders

GlobeNewswire

 

PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (https://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX-V:PYR), (the "Company", the "Corporation" or "PyroGenesis") a Company that designs, develops and manufactures plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch systems, is pleased to announce today that PyroGenesis Additive can now offer Tungsten free metal powders to the Additive Manufacturing ("AM") industry.

"The impact of Tungsten inclusions in a final part can have serious consequences1," said Mr. Pierre Carabin, Chief Technology Officer of PyroGenesis. "They can be the cause of failures. Since the melting point of Tungsten is higher than that of Titanium, it does not melt during the AM printing process. As a result, tungsten inclusions can become preferred sites for crack initiation. This has led to catastrophic failures and is clearly unacceptable, particularly in the aerospace industry."

PyroGenesis, the inventor of plasma atomization, and known for its plasma torch expertise, has significantly improved on its original design, such that today it produces Titanium powders with no Tungsten inclusions. PyroGenesis' quality control process thoroughly screens for any form of contamination. Tungsten-free powder is highly sought after by the aerospace and medical industries.

"We know of no other plasma atomization process (using DC torches) which uses tungsten free nozzles. Plasma torches with tungsten nozzles are at high risk of having tungsten inclusions in their powders. We no longer have that risk," said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, CEO & President of PyroGenesis. "This is a significant development in powder production. What is noteworthy is that within a few short months of having been made aware of this problem, by significant players in the industry, PyroGenesis was able to find an answer. This not only underscores PyroGenesis' ability to quickly find solutions to complex issues, but how these solutions can lead to economically valuable alternatives, and open the door to addressing this need with potential clients."
