Hoganas

Metal Powder for Sintered Components

Metal powders open up new possibilities for creative and cost-effective design solutions. Almost 80% of global iron and steel powder production is converted into sintered components. The manufacturing process involves the shaping of a tailor-made powder formulation by pressure and heat (sintering). Sintered components offer design freedom, almost 100% material utilization and many other benefits. Over 40 million sintered components are produced every day for use in numerous applications including vehicles, power tools and white goods.

Brazing

High temperature brazing is a joining process carried out under vacuum or in a controlled (reducing) atmosphere with a brazing temperature above 900°C. At brazing the brazing filler metal melts and is drawn by capillarity while molten into the thin space between the base material (not melted) that are to be joined. When cooled a strong and leak free metallurgical bond is created.

Metal Powder for Hot Polymer Filtration

In terms of quality and capacity, we are a top performer in this highly specialized and demanding application. We have gained an unrivalled reputation for providing effective and reliable powder solutions that can be optimized in filter packs for particular polymers.

The main features for a cost-effective quality filter media are:

  • High porosity maintained during filtration cycle
  • Large active surface area
  • No chemical reaction with the polymer

Friction

Friction materials are utilized in the braking systems of automobiles, commercial vehicles, aircraft, motorcycles, trains and off-road vehicles and in other industrial applications. In simple terms, these materials help stop vehicles as a part of the brake pad or drum brake lining.

Surface Coating

Thermal surfacing – an opportunity to achieve the desired performance characteristics on exposed metal surfaces. Höganäs high-quality thermal surfacing powders are based on nickel, cobalt or iron. They offer a proven, cost-effective method to improve both the performance and endurance of components in high-wear and corrosive environment. Examples include engine valves, printing rollers, glass bottle moulds and steel rollers.

Höganäs powders are particularly suited to the needs of high-tech surface coating methods such as Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA), surfacing, laser cladding, High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF), plasma or flame spraying and powder welding.

Welding

Higher productivity, better welding characteristics and improved weld metal quality all add up to increased profitability for the user. This is why the welding industry has switched to metal powder – both as a coating component for coated welding electrodes and as an important constituent in cored wires.

Powders are available for all types of coated welding electrodes as well as flux-cored and metal-cored wires.

Iron Fortification

NutraFine™ is an elemental iron powder range. Using our ‘enrichment technology’ we have been able to develop the range so that a reduced iron is equal in bioavailability to basic electrolytic iron, but at a far more competitive price. The range has none of the side-effects associated with ferrous sulphate remaining pure and stable during mixing, milling and storing.
