We offer to our customers seven powder types for additive manufacturing under the brand name BÖHLER AMPO.

The facts at a glance:

• As the world’s largest special steel producer, BÖHLER Edelstahl leverages metallurgical knowledge and manufacturing options for this new technology.
• Atomisation of BÖHLER standard brands. Customisation of alloys with small scale production plant and metallurgical expertise.
• Powder is produced using the latest atomisation techniques and tested in-house.
• Vacuum induction melting and atomisation under inert gas ensure the highest product quality.
• Depending on the steel grade and customer requirements, raw materials melted under vacuum or re-melted can be used. This ensures the highest quality standards and minimizes undesired impurities.
• Depending on the requirements of the AM process used, we can provide the appropriate particle fractions in range from 15-45μm and 45-150μm.
