Meltio Launches Second Batch of Its Own Metal Wire Materials Range

Linares, Spain – September 6th, 2022.

Meltio; a disruptive laser metal deposition technology manufacturer, announced today that it is launching four new materials as part of its own metal wire materials range. However, the Meltio products will maintain their open materials platform option to accentuate the importance of materials as a key factor in the 3D printing user experience.

The Meltio Materials range consists of materials that are extensively tested under controlled conditions with validated part properties and out-of-the-box optimized print parameters. The second batch of welding wires includes Stainless Steel 17-4PH, Tool Steel H11, Nickel 625, and Invar. Earlier this year, the company launched the first batch, consisting of Stainless Steel 316L, Stainless Steel 308L, Mild Steel ER70S, Titanium 64, and Nickel 718.

Expanding the Meltio Materials range with these four specific metals allows to dive deeper into the realm of materials, and provide parametrized welding wires for a wide range of applications as well as a few niche ones. The new materials continue ensuring the same first-time-right experience just like the first batch, with guaranteed part properties, and optimized print profiles. Furthermore, Meltio’s aim with the extended range is to cater to a broad audience, regardless of their previous experience with welding or metal additive manufacturing.

• The Meltio SS17-4PH is capable of achieving high hardness while offering excellent corrosion resistance, which is why it is widely used in the oil and gas, aerospace, energy, and defense industries.
• Thanks to its excellent impact toughness, the Meltio TSH11 is long established for hot tooling applications, die manufacturing, and aerospace applications.
• The Meltio Ni625 excels for its weldability, making it an ideal choice for cladding or repair of components working at high temperatures or requiring increased corrosion protection.
• As for the Meltio Invar, it is an excellent choice for measuring equipment and molds for the manufacturing of composite components for aerospace use.

Meltio’s wire LMD technology remains compatible with third-party commodity welding wire. Currently, Meltio’s pioneering process is compatible with most stainless steels, mild steels, tool steels, titanium alloys, nickel alloys, and invar. In addition, precious metals like gold have been showing great results in customer-led projects. Materials like copper, aluminum, and refractories continue to be under development.

By offering the Meltio Materials range as well as maintaining an open materials platform, Meltio users benefit from the best of both worlds. On the one hand, it has the added value of first-time-right with the Meltio Materials’ optimized print profiles. On the other hand, the open materials platform provides the Meltio users with an option to push the envelope by experimenting with different materials.
