During the aluminum casting process, the metal melt is either poured or pressed into the mold. This process is used, for example, to manufacture cylinder heads, wheel rims and many other aluminum castings. Here, the mold has to repeatedly withstand the metal melt at a temperature of over 600 °C: for inserts made of our tungsten-heavy metal alloy Densimet® and the molybdenum alloy TZM, that's not a problem. The benefits to you: — Shorter cycle times — Top surface quality for your products — Long mold service life — No cracks in the mold insert Tailor-made mold inserts, sprue bushes, cooling inserts and other individual parts as well as semi-finished products for your mold are available.

Rods made of the tungsten alloy DENSIMET are available in the diameter range 6mm to 62mm in different lengths in the Plansee Online Shop. Order fast and easily from the producer's online shop: www.plansee.com/shop. Special dimensions are available on request.

EDM Electrodes made of the tungsten alloy SPARKAL are available as tubes, rods, square rods and plates in different dimensions in the Plansee Online Shop. Order fast and easily from the producer's online shop: www.plansee.com/shop.

Plansee collimators are made of tungsten heavy metal alloys (Densimet® alloys). Due to the high density of the material, collimators perfectly shield from x-rays and gamma rays and therefore protect the healthy tissue during radiotherapy. Densimet® tungsten alloys are distinguished by their particularly high density. Combined with their ability to absorb radiation as well as their outstanding mechanical properties and machinability. Particular material properties: — high density of 17.0 to 18.8g/cm³ — better machinability compared to pure tungsten — high Young’s modulus and very good mechanical properties — high absorption capacity for X-rays and gamma rays — harmless to the health and environment

Spare parts include for example chambers, filaments, arc slits, holders and many other parts. The pare parts are made of graphite, molybdenum, tungsten and alloys. They are extremely durable and long lasting and therefore save money and maintenance time. 100 or more Plansee components are at work in every beam path. They ensure that the ions are generated efficiently and guided precisely and free from impurities along the beam path to the wafer. For customers in the semiconductor industry, Plansee spare parts are increasingly becoming more than just spares. Taking the equipment manufacturer's original spare parts as starting point, Plansee optimizes the geometries and material compositions. The benefits to you: — Simplified component installation and removal — Longer service lives — Lower cleaning costs — Reduced maintenance work — Reduced downtimes

For the high-resolution devices used in general X-ray applications, mammography, angiography and computed tomography, Plansee develops and manufactures extremely robust X-ray anodes and components for X-ray tubes. The product range includes anodes made from molybdenum alloys such as TZM and MHC with focal tracks consisting of various tungsten-rhenium alloys. Plansee manufactures molybdenum-vanadium and molybdenum-niobium targets that are specially designed for use in mammography applications and which can be optionally equipped with precious metal focal tracks. The product range also comprises material combinations including copper and precious metals and brazed graphite elements on the metallic disc. As braze materials V/Ta/Zr composites, titanium, zirconium and other materials are used. Plansee supplies anodes as ready-to-use assemblies including the rotor, heat shield and shaft.

Nuts made of molybdenum and the molybdenum alloy TZM are available in the Plansee Online Shop. Order fast and easily from the producer's online shop: www.plansee.com/shop

Evaporation coils are available in many different lenghts, diameters, coil lenghts and coil pitches. These resistance heaters with their very high melting points will bring practically any metal to the boil. At the same time, their high corrosion resistance and outstanding material purity prevent any contamination of the substrate. The range includes evaporation coils made of the following materials: — Grain stabilized tungsten (WVM) for the evaporation of aluminum — Tantalum — Molybdenum — Molybdenum-lanthenum (ML) for particularly long service lives

Evaporation boats made of tungsten, molybdenum and tantalum are available in many different widths, lenghts, material thicknesses and volumes directly in the Plansee Online Shop: www.plansee.com/shop. Special dimensions are available on request.
