Feature Article Title:
Has the Time Arrived for Tantalum and Niobium in Additive Manufacturing?
Feature Article Summary:
This report, based on the FORMNEXT 2019 event, highlights the growing relevance of tantalum and niobium in additive manufacturing. Applications range from implants and corrosion-resistant parts to aerospace superalloys. Several T.I.C. members presented new powder technologies, including AMtrinsic® and novel alloy developments, with strong potential to reshape how these elements are used in high-performance sectors.

- Tantalum-Niobium International Study Center (T.I.C.)
- The T.I.C. was established in response to concerns within the tantalum industry regarding the lack of useful information on tantalum source materials. The initial purpose of the T.I.C. was to spread information about tantalum and to promote the common interest and welfare of the producers, especially with public and private authorities, organisations and agencies. Since its foundation, the T.I.C. has grown to encompass niobium and all stages of the tantalum/niobium supply chains.
Advancing sustainability, technology, and industry collaboration since 1974.
