Freemelt supplies e-blasting system to KIMS for the development of new high-performance materials

Picture: Freemelt

Das schwedische Unternehmen Freemelt AB hat einen Auftrag zur Lieferung eines Freemelt ONE-Systems an das Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) erhalten. Die Anlage soll ab dem zweiten Quartal 2025 für die Entwicklung neuer Materialprozesse im Bereich der additiven Fertigung eingesetzt werden. Im Fokus stehen dabei Titanaluminide, Superlegierungen und sogenannte High Entropy Alloys (HEAs), die unter anderem in der Luft- und Raumfahrt Anwendung finden.

KIMS ist eine staatlich finanzierte Forschungseinrichtung mit Sitz in Changwon, Südkorea, die sich auf die Entwicklung fortschrittlicher Werkstoffe für industrielle Anwendungen spezialisiert hat. Mit der Investition in die E-PBF-Technologie (Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion) von Freemelt soll die Entwicklung von temperaturbeständigen Materialien vorangetrieben werden. Diese Werkstoffklassen gelten als vielversprechend für den Einsatz in Turbinenkomponenten, Triebwerken und anderen Hochtemperaturanwendungen.

“This versatile and powerful system is expected to contribute significantly to both academic research and industrial innovation, delivering outstanding results in the development of next-generation high-temperature materials,” says Mr. Seong Woong Kim, Principal Researcher at KIMS.

“This is our first machine order from Asia and an important milestone for our company. Asia is at the forefront of AM adoption, and this order will increase the awareness of Freemelt in the emerging Asian market, driving new commercial collaborations,” says Daniel Gidlund, CEO of Freemelt AB.

Thanks to its modular design, the Freemelt ONE system is particularly suitable for the experimental development of new materials, especially in the field of refractory metals and complex alloy systems.
