Tekna produces powders that can be used in additive manufacturing, metal injection molding, and hot isostatic pressing applications. The main characteristics of these powders are high fluidity, high density and high purity, and controllable production costs. These characteristics are achieved through Tekna’s patented radio frequency plasma technology. In addition, Tekna is also committed to consolidating its position as the preferred supplier of additive manufacturing worldwide.
As a leader in the field of inductively coupled plasma (ICP), Tekna can use a variety of gases to generate plasma under different operating conditions. Provide customers with a variety of options: unique technology integrated internally, and spherical high-purity nano powder. This technology can perform the following operations on metal powder:
- Sphericalization (SphEroIdiZation): The pulverized, atomized and sponged powder is converted into highly dense spherical powder particles, including heating and melting of the feed particles, and then cooling under controlled conditions.
- Nanopowder synthesis (NANOPOWDER SYNTHESIS): It can produce high-purity nanomaterials from different types of precursors (solid, liquid or gas), providing a way for mass production of materials with specific properties, high performance and low cost.
- Inductive plasma deposition: Production of high-density coatings through effective melting and deposition.
Tekna Holding AS participated in an aerospace qualification program of the National Center for Advanced Materials Performance (NCAMP) in May 2021.It is reported that the data of the main product titanium (Ti64) will be released in the development and
standard
In the MMPDS manual, this manual is a recognized source of metal materials and has been recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Parts produced using certified powder materials will automatically pass the entity’s initial design phase and analysis.
Tekna CEO LucDionne said that he is proud to participate in the qualification program certified by the FAA and other aviation agencies, which will further help the industry shorten the qualification cycle and accelerate growth. At the same time, this is also an important step after Tekna has successfully obtained the qualifications of Boeing and other major aerospace OEMs.
So, what is the effect of obtaining this certification? To give an example: Suppose a company wants to use Tekna materials to manufacture aircraft parts and has already contacted the FAA. Then, as part of the plan, the company must inform the FAA of the specific materials and processes used, as well as the database of materials being used. If they report that the FAA is using a database hosted by NCAMP or MMPDS, and the data has passed these approval processes, then they can move on to the next phase of the plan. If not, FFA will require them to spend at least one year in the qualification process, which increases manufacturing costs. By pre-identifying powders, Tekna is equivalent to providing customers with a simple and convenient start.
After successfully obtaining the certification, Tekna was selected by the aircraft manufacturer Airbus to become one of the main powder suppliers for Airbus (including the defense, aerospace and helicopter sectors) and related titanium alloy supply chains. In recent years, various airlines have successively used additive manufacturing technology to reduce the complexity and weight of parts, and use faster, more cost-competitive and sustainable production processes.
Rémy Pontone, Tekna’s vice president of sales and marketing, said that Ti64’s product quality and high-quality development process were factors in Tekna’s bid. He expects that through long-term agreements with Airbus and its authorized suppliers, the company’s titanium powder sales will increase in the next few years. Luc Dionne, CEO of Tekna Canada, added that the company is very happy to be selected by Airbus to provide a high-quality, reliable and stable supply chain, and looks forward to establishing a long-term partnership with Airbus.
