Atom

Nickel alloy powders for additive manufacturing, which are subject to export license, will be developed in ATOM Project. Turbine parts in aviation engines are made from nickel based super alloys in order not to lose their strength under high load and temperature. In ATOM project, Inconel 718 and Inconel 625 powders for LAM (Laser Additive Manufacturing), and Inconel 718 powder for EBM (Electron Beam Melting) will be produced by the atomization process, characterized and validated through the samples.

The ATOM Project is funded by Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB), and Ermaksan is joined as a main sub-contractor. Ermaksan, which is one of the leading machine provider companies of Turkey and announced a powder bed laser melting additive system the ENA 250, will develop a system for powder manufacturing, and start producing powders on pilot scale.
