Application examples for MPA technology

MPA technology is a well-established process for the cost-effective production of metal powder components in all sizes.
Below you will find some interesting applications and how to achieve them with the MPA process.

Soon perhaps also your application?

With MPA technology, different materials can be combined in one part. One application of interest is to embed copper elements as heat conductors in steel components. For the parts shown here, copper was integrated at locations where cooling via a channel is not possible because of geometric limitations. Often these copper elements transport the thermal energy from hot spots to the cooling channel located further inside the part.

Similar to the production sequence for cooling channels, predefined geometries are filled with copper using the MPA process to achieve a thermal coupling between copper and steel substrate. After milling the surface, layers of steel are applied to cover the copper.
