Interview with Dr. Horst Hill, DEW (www.industrial-production.de)
The subtle difference
How do additively and subtractively manufactured components differ in terms of their properties? Dr. Horst Hill from Deutsche Edelstahlwerke addressed these and other questions relating to metal in additive manufacturing.

Steel for additive manufacturing
Additive manufacturing is well on its way out of its niche. New materials are also making this possible. Deutsche Edelstahlwerke has now launched two metal powders for 3D printing: the bainitic special steel Bainidur AM and the austenitic steel Printdur HSA.

Stainless steel for plastic molds
Deutsche Edelstahlwerke will be exhibiting together with Schmolz + Bickenbach at the Moulding Expo. In Hall 7, DEW will be exhibiting all-stainless materials for plastic molds, for example for plastic bottles, car seats or syringes.

All-stainless steels for plastic molds
The demand for plastic molds made of stainless steel is increasing. Users attach great importance to quality and machinability. According to Deutsche Edelstahlwerke, the trend in plastics processing is towards molds made entirely of stainless steel.

Plastic mold steels in comparison
Around 60 million tons of plastic (19% of the global volume) were produced in Europe alone in 2016. The main customers are packaging manufacturers and suppliers to the automotive, electrical and medical industries.

Steel development: More efficiency for case-hardened components
For Deutsche Edelstahlwerke (DEW), Wire 2018 is all about new technology standards: With DEW RC+T (Rapid Cooling + Tempering), the Schmolz + Bickenbach Group company is increasing efficiency and quality in the production of case-hardened components. The new process replaces time-consuming annealing processes and refines the microstructure.

Material solutions for underwater pelletizing systems
One of the most important components of underwater pelletizing (UWG) of plastics is the die plate on the extrusion line. Rotating knives on this plate cut the extrusion strands to the desired pellet length.

UWG for medium performance
Nikrodur instead of ferro-titanite for the die plate. For the first time in underwater pelletizing of polyolefins, Coperion is using a large-dimensioned die plate made of a highly abrasion and corrosion-resistant material, which should double the service life.
