Description
Auto-translated from GermanThis is a MARKET EXPLORATION PROCEDURE. Description of services – Production of probe heat sinks and protective garages (3D printing, INCONEL, 800 mm) as part of a market exploration procedure. Initial situation / objective. As part of combustion chamber test stands, a probe is required for spectroscopic measurement of reaction zones. The probe must be housed in a specially developed probe heat sink, which also serves as a protective garage. Both components are designed for high-pressure (up to 40 bar) and high-temperature (up to 1,700 °C) environments. The objective of the procedure is to identify suppliers who can realize the manufacturing and quality requirements described below using the additive manufacturing process (3D printing) with INCONEL. Scope of services Production of a probe heat sink (length = 800 mm) made of INCONEL using 3D printing. Production of an associated protective garage (made of the same material, same manufacturing conditions). Provision of the components for use in combustion chamber test stands for data acquisition during spectroscopic measurements. Technical requirements: Material: INCONEL Printing orientation: Vertical from bottom (0 mm) to top (800 mm) – mandatory due to the internal structure of the probe heat sink (see sketch). Tolerance symmetry/spatial axis: ± 0.1 mm over the entire length (no "banana" effect). Tolerance internal geometries: ± 0.2 mm over the entire length of the body. Support structures: No permanent support structures in the internal volume – technically not permitted. Printing position: Horizontal printing is not possible (due to the internal structure). Operating conditions: Components must be resistant to high pressure (up to 40 bar) and high temperature (up to 1,700 °C). Quality and acceptance criteria 1. Dimensional accuracy – All measured values (symmetry/spatial axis, internal diameters, wall thicknesses) are within the specified tolerances (± 0.1 mm or ± 0.2 mm). 2. Geometric integrity – No curvature of the body, no remaining internal support structures. 3. Material conformity – Proof that the component was manufactured from INCONEL. The component will only be considered "accepted" if all criteria are met. This service description is for market exploration purposes only. A binding contract award will only be made after a separate procurement procedure. The market exploration should take place as soon as possible. Interested companies should send their product presentation and the contact details of a contact person in your company by email to the following email address by THURSDAY, July 23, 2026, 12:00 PM, referencing the identifier 332/2026/9472998: mel.krumm@dlr.de, daniela.manns@dlr.de.
