AM 4 AM awarded Japanese patent for plasma treatment
AM 4 AM, a producer of metal powders for Additive Manufacturing based in Foetz, Luxembourg, has announced that it has received a Japanese patent for its metal powder plasma treatment.
The company’s cold plasma technology works by evenly coating the surface of metal powders with ceramic particles to produce a dense microstructure that is reported to improve the powder’s durability, processability and reliability. Requiring only 2 kW of power per hour of processing time, the process runs entirely on nitrogen gas, reducing the use of potentially harmful chemicals.
“This milestone strengthens AM 4 AM’s international presence and shows how our unique approach to materials for Additive Manufacturing resonates far beyond Europe,” the company said on LinkedIn.
