Freemelt to manufacture tungsten components for TAE Technologies
Freemelt AB, based in Mölndal, Sweden, will conduct a feasibility study for TAE Technologies. The first phase will involve the manufacture of tungsten components as part of an engineering evaluation and manufacturing demonstration. Subject to successful results, the project is expected to progress through subsequent development phases towards the industrial application of Additive Manufacturing.
TAE Technologies is a privately held American company developing commercial fusion energy technologies, with a focus on enabling carbon-free power generation through advanced reactor concepts. The company is currently transitioning from research and development towards the commercialisation of fusion technology, with the aim of establishing fusion as a key component of the future global energy system.
“This is a strategically important project to expand Freemelt’s position within fusion energy and will demonstrate our tungsten capabilities. Working together with an innovative player such as TAE Technologies provides us with an important opportunity to further demonstrate our capabilities in tungsten and advanced materials,” said Daniel Gidlund, CEO of Freemelt.
