Sciaky, Inc. delivered an industry-leading Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM®) system to the Global Research & Innovative Technology (GRIT) facility of Hitachi Metals, Ltd. in Japan- Kumagaya. This is the first Asia-Pacific installation. Hitachi Metals offers products and materials that contribute to better quality and productivity, as well as energy conservation.
The EBAM 110 system purchased by Hitachi Metals includes a dual wire feed configuration. With this configuration, customers can combine two different metal alloys into a single melt pool, managed with independent program control, to create custom alloy parts or ingots. Customers also have the option to alternate between different wire gauges for finer deposition features (thin wire) and gross deposition features (thick wire) to meet unique part specifications.
“We look forward to developing new materials and applications with this highly innovative process.”
Yasuhiko Ohtsubo, 3DAM Development Manager of GRIT at Hitachi Metals, Ltd.
