Please take some minutes to check the capacities offered by Fraunhofer IKTS

Fraunhofer IKTS is offering relevant expertise, technologies, and/or materials to participate as a supplier (as co-contractor or sub-contractor).

Fraunhofer IKTS has been involved over a decade in the development of pure Tungsten Carbide and innovative Tungsten Carbide compositions. Their advanced manufacturing techniques allow them to produce a variety of geometries through conventional as well as sinter based additive manufacturing methods. They are also pioneering research in High-Entropy Carbides and Carbo-nitrides. Both classes of materials promise significant advantages for shielding applications by mitigating issues like W embrittlement and flaking (as known for metallic tungsten), while also providing low activation energy. In addition, Fraunhofer IKTS offers cutting-edge characterization services, including high-temperature assessments of mechanical, thermal, electrical, and phase properties (HT-XRD).
