Plansee now offers molybdenum and tungsten sheets in three separate categories.

Not every application for molybdenum and tungsten sheets has the same material requirements. Plansee customers now have the opportunity to choose the perfect sheet for their application. The new quality levels are Economy, Standard, and Premium.Plansee sheets are renowned for their exceedingly high quality. Sheets can be selected from a wide assortment in the webshop. Aside from the product assortment, customers care about the price. In order to be able to offer attractive prices, Plansee constantly invests in highly efficient machines and passes on cost advantages to customers. But that

Plansee invests in a new cold rolling mill: Thin and medium-thickness sheets are now even cheaper.

Plansee uses modern rolling mills to produce the world's largest molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum and niobium sheets. New investments mean that customers will immediately benefit from cost savings, which Plansee will also be passing on in its webshop Plansee Express. Plansee operates the world's largest hot rolling mill for refractory metals. With a massive rolling force of 50,000 kilonewtons, this produces sheets up to 2000 mm wide and several meters long. In order to produce larger sizes of thin and medium-thickness sheets and to ensure increased capacity, Plansee

Convion, Fraunhofer IKTS and Plansee present their SOFC innovations at Hannover Fair.

Convion LTD, Fraunhofer IKTS and Plansee SE have one common goal: to contribute to the breakthrough of SOFC technology as a future form of affordable, reliable, and clean energy. From interconnects, through ready-to-install stacks up to SOFC systems they present their products and services at this year’s Hannover Fair,  April 13-17, 2015Convion C50 SOFC system In February 2015 Convion started operation of a new, highly innovative cogeneration system using MK351 stacks produced by Fraunhofer IKTS. “The Convion C50 SOFC system can be operated with natural gas or biogas. It has nominal

Plansee presents tungsten electrodes at Fabtech.

The Fabtech in Atlanta is the largest exhibition on the latest technology in the metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing industries. This year Plansee will be exhibiting and presenting its TIG and resistance welding electrodes made of tungsten. Plansee’s trade show presentation will primarily focus on the thorium-free TIG electrodes WL15 and WL20. They convince with the same quality as their thorium-containing predecessors WL15 and WL20: good ignition and reignition properties, high current-carrying capacity and a long service life. Thorium free electrodes offer two main

Plansee welding electrodes last ten times longer.

Back cast TZM electrodes for resistance welding got tested in practice.A manufacturer of switchgears tested TZM back cast electrodes for resistance welding. The result: Due to the seamless joint with the electrode holder, back cast electrodes have a substantially longer service life than their soldered alternative. Until now the manufacturer of switchgears used soldered electrodes to combine silver contacts with brass or copper. In this process an electrode did weld just around 5.000 spots before it had to be reworked or even changed. Plansee thought this result was far too

New insights into the oxygen content of copper-gallium thin films

The residual gases in the vacuum equipment during the sputtering process determines the oxygen content of copper-gallium (CuGa) precursor layers much more than the target material itself. This result of a research project undertaken by our coating experts is important for the manufacture of CIGS thin-film solar cells. The detailed results were presented as a poster contribution at this year's EU-PVSEC in Paris and are now available in the EU-PVSEC proceedings. Impurities in the CIGS layer lower the efficiency of the solar cell. Although a small proportion of oxygen is present

Plansee eröffnet Produktionsstandort in China

Seit mehr als 20 Jahren ist Plansee Hochleistungswerkstoffe in China mit einer eigenen Vertriebsorganisation vertreten. Mit der wachsenden Bedeutung dieses Marktes folgte jetzt der logische nächste Schritt: Plansee hat einen Fertigungsstandort in der Nähe von Shanghai eröffnet. Viele Schlüsselindustrien sind heute in China zu Hause. Qualitätsansprüche und das technologische Niveau sind in den letzten Jahren stark gestiegen. Auch westliche Großunternehmen betreiben eigene Produktionen in China. „Der lokale Einkauf wird auch für unsere Kunden immer wichtiger“, so Richard Cheung,
