Erasteel presents its atomization process with a clear and understandable animation. During the gas atomization process, the molten steel is atomized into fine metal droplets thanks to inert gas. These droplets cool down during their fall in the atomizing tower. Metal powders obtained by gas atomization offer a perfectly spherical shape combined with a high cleanliness level.

This Erasteel animation will explain you more about the Hot Isostatic Pressing process. After atomization, Erasteel metal powders are densified using the Hot Isostatic Pressing technology. Hot Isostatic Pressing is a process to densify gas-atomized metal powders placed in a metal container through the combination of high gas pressure and high temperature. The HIP operation takes place in a HIP furnace, where the gas pressure acts uniformly in all directions, thus providing isostatic properties and 100% densification.

The Additive Manufacturing technology is an innovative solution for the manufacturing of Near Net Shape (NNS) or Net Shape (NS) metal components using metal powders. This powder metallurgy technology is used more and more widely in many industries such as aerospace, energy, transportation, tooling and medical industries. Additive Manufacturing is also known as Rapid prototyping, Direct metal deposition, Additive Layer manufacturing, or Freeform Fabrication: Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Electron Beam Melting (EBM). In the Additive Manufacturing process, thin layers of metal powders are melted thanks to a selective laser or EB melting. The addition of metal powders layers and the melting of these layers takes place until the final 3D shape is obtained. Pearl® metal powders from Erasteel are tailored for additive manufacturing applications and include a wide range of stainless steels, tool steels as well as Nickel or Cobalt base powders.

The Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) technology is an innovative solution for the manufacturing of Near Net Shape (NNS) metal components using metal powders. This powder metallurgy technology is used more and more widely in many industries such as energy, transportation, tooling and process industries. The first step of the Hot Isostatic Pressing process consists in the manufacturing and assembly of a Near Net Shape metal container. Then, the container is filled with metal powders obtained by gas atomization. Finally, the powder densification takes place thanks to a high gas pressure and a high temperature applied to the powders located in the container. Pearl® metal powders from Erasteel are tailored for HIP applications and include a wide range of stainless steels, tool steels as well as Nickel or Cobalt base powders.

Erasteel - Aubert & Duval, leader in gas atomization powder manufacturing, produce metal powders, under the trademark Pearl Micro®, by VIM Gas atomization process. These powders are mainly used for Additive Manufacturing.

The Metal Injection Molding process is an innovative solution for the manufacturing of Net Shape (NS) metal components using metal powders. This powder metallurgy technology is used more and more widely in many industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical and other applications. In the Metal Injection Molding technology, the metal powders mixed with a binder are injected in the molds. After the debinding phase, the MIM part densification by sintering or by hot isostatic pressing takes place. Pearl® Micro fine metal powders from Erasteel are recommended for MIM applications and include a wide range of stainless steels, tool steels as well as Nickel or Cobalt base powders.
