New materials from EOS

EOS NickelAlloy IN718 is a nickel-based heat resistant superalloy which corresponds to the Inconel 718 alloy. 700°C. It has corrosion resistance and is suitable for many high temperature applications. It also has improved cryogenic properties. It is suitable for applications in the aerospace industry.

In tests, the material covers heat treatment in accordance with AMS 5662 and AMS 5664 standards as well as tensile and stressrupture properties at elevated temperature (650°C, 1200°F).

According to Greg Morris, president of pilot user Morris Technologies, Inc "We have been supplying parts in EOS CobaltChrome MP1 as a preferred material for high stress/high temperature environments since 2005. Since working with EOS NickelAlloy IN718, this has become our front-line material of choice for many pplications in aerospace and other demanding applications.”

 EOS Aluminium AlSi10Mg is the first aluminium alloy to be qualified for EOSINT M 270 systems. According to the company, it has light weight and excellent thermal conductivity. Cast parts in conventional AlSi10Mg are typically subjected to T6 heat treatment including solution annealing and quenching followed by age hardening at elevated temperatures.
