Tekna, a leading industrial material supplier in Canada, is committed to the production of 3D printed high-purity metal powders in the aerospace, medical and automotive fields, as well as induction plasma systems. Antarctic Bear was informed that the company’s titanium (Ti64) powder has been certified by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Department of Defense (DoD) suppliers, and has become Airbus One of the main suppliers of 3D printing powder.
△Spherical Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy powder has high sphericity, low oxygen content, high density (bulk and knock) and controllable grain size
It is understood that the powder produced by Tekna can be used for additive manufacturing, metal injection molding and hot isostatic pressing applications. The main characteristics of these powders are high fluidity, high density and high purity, and the production cost is controllable. These all rely on Tekna's patented radio frequency plasma technology. In addition, Tekna is also working hard to consolidate its position as a leading supplier of additive manufacturing worldwide.
