Manufacturing and Materials Processing

Linde's powder cabinet was designed to retain the quality of sensitive additive manufacturing metal powders by protecting them against ambient air and humidity, with ease of operation.

ADDvance^® Cabinet for Powder Storage

Linde's oxygen measuring technology was developed to address performance challenges that additive manufacturers face as a result of incorrect oxygen and moisture levels in the printer chamber. This is the first solution that lets operators define the precise oxygen level for their individual material and printing application to guarantee optimal results, every time.

Linde's gas mixtures were developed to take laser powder bed fusion to the next level. Numerous variables can affect the quality of the final part, which can impact the speed at which it is produced and the resulting by-products and fumes. Fumes compromise reproducibility by disturbing the laser beam, increasing the need for post-processing. Process gases play a key role in mitigating fume formation and enhancing productivity. ADDvance^® Laser 230 Gas Mixture

In stainless steel annealing, Linde's atmosphere control system monitors the atmosphere in continuous and batch furnaces and controls the amounts of gases introduced into the furnace (hydrogen and nitrogen). This system allows for an exact adjustment of the furnace atmosphere to meet your product needs. Linde's atmosphere control system monitors the atmosphere in continuous and batch furnaces.

HYDROFLEX^® Atmosphere Control System

Linde's nitrogen-endogas atmosphere system is designed to provide a nitrogen-based atmosphere system with an endogas generator during the annealing process. Nitrogen-based atmosphere systems and atmosphere generators can be regarded as separate alternatives. Linde has developed a flexible system that can mix your input gas —nitrogen, endothermic gas or an enrichment gas— and can be installed with an external or in-situ endothermic gas generator. 

Many manufacturers in industries such as automotive, aerospace and machine tooling rely on heat treatment processes to improve material properties. In the constant search to optimize heat treatment results, more and more players are focusing on sub-zero treatment – a cryogenic step that follows a normal heat treatment process. Linde's freezers are offered in various models to provide you with the optimal fit for your application.
