Nanoval, based in Berlin, and Ingpuls, headquartered in Bochum, Germany, have formalized a strategic cooperation to enhance the production of nickel-titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloys (SMAs). The partnership aims to expand production capacity and reduce delivery times for high-quality NiTi powders used in aerospace, medical technology, nuclear technology, and research sectors. This collaboration builds on several years of joint development.
NiTi SMAs are prized for their unique properties, including shape recovery, superelasticity, biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance. These characteristics make them ideal for applications such as medical implants, aerospace components, and advanced actuators. The increasing demand for these materials has driven the need for more efficient production processes.
Christian Gerking, Managing Partner of Nanoval, praised Ingpuls for its expertise in producing rods of challenging alloys and highlighted the strong mutual understanding developed through years of collaboration. Dr. Christian Großmann, a member of Ingpuls’ management board, emphasized that the partnership has enabled both companies to optimize workflows and significantly shorten delivery times. This reduction in lead times is expected to accelerate customers’ development projects and improve time-to-market for innovations.
The cooperation will focus on improving material quality and optimizing atomization processes to meet the specific requirements of various industries. Additional measures include increasing efficiency and developing new alloy variants tailored to specialized applications.
