Heavy metals in laser processing
In addition to precious metals such as platinum, gold and silver, refractory metals (Latin: refractarius = brittle, unruly) such as molybdenum, tungsten, niobium and tantalum form an interesting sub-sector of heavy metals. With melting points above 2,000 degrees centigrade, low thermal expansion and good thermal and electrical conductivity, these materials are often used in aviation, medical technology, electronics as well as environmental and energy technology. Our many years of experience and innovative laser technology make us the ideal partner for processing and manufacturing your components and implementing complex contour requirements.
Heavy metals in the application
Heavy metals are widely used in the following areas, among others:
- in medical technology as collimators and anti scattering grids
- in aerospace as weight balances and vibration dampeners
- in power electronics as unique sputtering targets, heat shields
- in microelectronics as solder foils and preforms
- in the semiconductor industry as base plates and sputtering targets
Vielfältige Bearbeitungsmöglichkeiten für Ihre Buntmetalle
We cut oxide-free, structure and mark precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum and also refractory metals such as tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum and niobium according to your individual ideas and wishes. We are able to process your supplied material or offer you the service of purchasing special materials in small quantities without processing them further.
