Thermal conductivity - Import export

ISOVAL® 10 R is an epoxy based glassroving laminate with excellent compressive strength and low thermal conductivity even at elevated temperatures and with a limiting temperature of 180°C

Molybdenum-hafnium carbide (MHC) is highly temperature-resistant, has a high level of thermal conductivity, a low coefficient of thermal expansion and a high recrystallization temperature. MHC retains its shape even when used at temperatures of up to 1 550 °C. At temperatures up to 800 °C, MHC is suitable for use in die inserts. At higher temperatures, the producer recommends using MHC for full dies. The benefits to you for a long service life: — Optimum nondeformability and dimensional stability — Low tendency to crack in the case of edged profiles — High thermal stability — High thermal conductivity — Low thermal expansion — Good hot ductility — Very high recrystallization temperature Plansee supplies MHC components in disc form with or without drilled start hole.

The following nozzles and electrodes made of tungsten-copper are available from stock: Nozzles: — PN-F4-6 — PN-F1-6 — PN-G-W / PN-GH-W Electrodes: — PE-F4 — PE-F1-45 / PE-F1-90 — PE-3M63 / PE-7M63 / PE-9M63 Thanks to its high melting point, tungsten ensures that even the high temperatures that occur at the particularly exposed tip cause no damage to the spray nozzle. The high level of thermal conductivity provided by tungsten and copper ensure optimum heat dissipation. As a result, our nozzles and electrodes offer excellent resistance to arc erosion. This guarantees a long service life. — outstanding arc erosion resistance — high temperature resistance — optimum thermal conductivity

Tungsten and tungsten alloy electrodes are used to produce the arc in high-intensity discharge lamps. Tungsten electrodes from Plansee excel due to their outstanding physical and mechanical properties: a high melting point, low vapor pressure, low thermal expansion, good thermal conductivity and a low electron work function. Plansee supplies anodes, cathodes and support rods. With special alloy additives, Plansee improves the high-temperature dimensional stability, electron work function, formability, machinability and thermal conductivity of the material. For cathodes, aluminium-potassium silicate (AKS) or lanthanum oxide-doped tungsten is available. A new addition to the range: WLZ, a tungsten material doped with lanthanum and zirconium oxide. WLZ is the non-radioactive alternative to thorium-doped materials.

Nozzle tips for hot runner nozzles made of titanium-zirconium-molybdenum offer particularly high thermal conductivity of 140 W/mK coupled with excellent temperature and corrosion resistance. Glass fiber-reinforced plastics are exceptionally strong during processing but also highly abrasive. An optimum combination of thermal conductivity and material hardness is required. The TZM nozzle tips of Plansee are exceptionally resistant to aggression: the SHN surface hardening process. Using SHN surface hardening, we can strengthen peripheral areas and entire TZM components through the addition of a permanent, adherent diffusion layer. As a result, our customers benefit from the use of a tough, heat-resistant material with a wear-resistant surface. Surface hardening takes place during the gas phase. Coatings that we produce using the SHN process adhere better than conventional PVD or CVD layers. They perfectly replicate the surface contour of the TZM product.

Metallic heaters made from ML or tungsten are made for very high temperatures between 1000 °C (1 832°F) and 2 800 °C (5 072 °F). Plansee supplies heating elements for all types of high-temperature furnace in the form of ribbon, sheets, rods, twisted wire, wire bundles and wire mesh heaters. Plansee's materials belong to the group of refractory metals. Molybdenum and tungsten are the two materials that are most commonly used in high-temperature thermal processes. Thanks to their high melting points, they do not soften even at very high temperatures. Refractory metals have a lower coefficient of thermal expansion and better thermal conductivity than steel.

Plansee produces material for wear-resistant coatings, adhesive layers, decorative or DLC coatings. Offering compositions tailored for advanced hard coatings with optimized mechanical and tribological properties. Further topics that might be addressed are: enhancing of thermal and chemical stability, adding of functional properties like self-lubrication, self-hardening and self-healing. To adjust the coating characteristics to the dedicated application, Plansee offers its scientific expertise in alloying of targets and cathodes with elements that influence the coating properties as follows: Grain size and morphology, Hardness adaption, High temperature oxidation resistance, Friction coefficient, Thermal stability, Thermal conductivity, Electrical conductivity, Antibacterial properties, Color effects. Offered sputtering targets and arcing cathodes: Titanium-Aluminum Aluminum-Chromium Chromium Titanium-silicon Titanium Zirconium Tungsten carbide Titanium-diboride
