THOR13

Metal Powders
Our metal powders are gas-atomized through our patent-pending Spray Forming process. The powders are sieved to custom sizes and have been qualified for Additive Manufacturing processes including Laser Powder Bed Fusion, Binder Jetting and Laser Cladding. Spray-formed powders are characterized by:

• Unmatched low CO2 footprint
• Spherical shape with few satellites
• Excellent flowability
• Low internal gas porosity
• Chemical compatibility with corresponding spray-formed steel

THOR13 is a versatile, high-performance hot work tool steel renowned for its exceptional thermal resistance, toughness, and wear properties. Our THOR13 powder is tailored to Additive Manufacturing applications. We offer THOR13 in different particle sizes tailored for Binder Jetting, Laser Powder Bed Fusion, Electron Beam Melting and Laser Cladding / Directed Energy Deposition. Please contact us for your preferred particle size range.

With an achievable hardness up to 56 HRC after heat treatment, it is typically used in a variety of applications including:

• Die casting of aluminium, magnesium and zinc
• Forging tools
• Extrusion dies
• Mold tooling

Benefits:

• High temperature wear resistance due to high Vanadium content
• Good polishability due to lack of primary carbides
• Extremely low carbon footprint due to our patented manufacturing process
