VDM® Powder Alloy 699 XA is a nickel-chromium-aluminum alloy developed by material producer VDM Metals and ideal for use in highly corrosive environments within the petrochemical industry.
“The powder material VDM® Powder Alloy 699 XA was specifically developed for its exceptional resistance to Metal Dusting, an extreme form of carburization. This characteristic makes it ideally suited for demanding industrial applications. Moreover, its excellent weldability facilitates the widespread use of this alloy for the chemical process industry and other high-temperature and corrosive applications,” said Dr. Tatiana Hentrich, Vice President of Sales Metal Powder at VDM Metals.
If confidential agreements between organizations are not a hurdle, we may have the opportunity to discover applications made with this material thanks to a new partnership VDM Metals signed with Rosswag Engineering. The engineering company could leverage the LPBF process to manufacture function-optimized and complex components. The “highly corrosion-resistant material” would find great applications in synthesis gas processes to produce hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, or in the cooling of synthesis gas in the production of E-Fuel.
Philipp Schwarz, Business Development Manager at Rosswag Engineering sees benefits for metal-based 3D printing in this partnership: “With the material VDM® Powder Alloy 699 XA, we complement our extensive material portfolio for industrial metal 3D printing. We can now produce highly stressed components with statistically validated material properties up to 600 °C.”
