Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing)
Metal Powders for Additive Manufacturing 3D Printing
Metal powders for additive manufacturing (also known as 3D printing) are a type of material used in the process of creating physical objects by building them up layer by layer.
In additive manufacturing using metal powders, a metal powder is deposited in layers and then fused together using a high-energy source, such as a laser or an electron beam.
There are several types of metal powders that can be used in additive manufacturing, including stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, Co-based alloy, and Ni-based alloy. The choice of metal powder depends on the specific application and the desired properties of the final object.
One of the main advantages of using metal powders in additive manufacturing is that they allow for the creation of complex, customized parts and objects with precise control over their shape and size. This can be especially useful in the manufacturing of parts for the aerospace, automotive, and medical industries, where precision and customizability are often critical.
Types of 3D printing metal powder
There are several types of metal powders that can be used in 3D printing (also known as additive manufacturing), our company product mainly including:
Stainless steel:
Stainless steel is a strong and corrosion-resistant metal that is commonly used in 3D printing. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including aerospace, automotive, and medical parts.
Cobalt based Alloy:
Cobalt is a strong and corrosion-resistant metal that is commonly used in 3D printing. It is often used in the production of medical and dental implants due to its biocompatibility and high strength.
Nickel-based Alloy:
Nickel is a strong and corrosion-resistant metal that is commonly used in 3D printing. It is often used in the production of aerospace and automotive parts due to its high strength and low density.
We provide additive manufacturing (3D printing) powder according to your customized requirements.
Characteristics of 3D Printing Metal Powder
There are several characteristics of metal powders that are used in 3D printing:
Particle size:
The size of the metal particles in the powder can have a significant impact on the properties of the final printed part. Smaller particle sizes can result in higher resolution and finer features, but may also result in longer print times and higher costs.
Flowability:
Metal powders used in 3D printing should have good flowability, meaning they can be easily poured and spread out into a thin layer. This is important for ensuring that the powder can be properly distributed in the printer bed.
Porosity:
Porosity, or the presence of small voids or pores in the printed part, can affect the mechanical and thermal properties of the part. Metal powders with low porosity tend to result in stronger and more durable parts.
Chemical purity:
The chemical purity of the metal powder can impact the quality and consistency of the printed parts. Impurities can result in defects or variations in the final part.
Cost:
The cost of metal powders can vary significantly depending on the type of metal, the particle size, and the supplier. It is important to consider the cost when selecting a metal powder for 3D printing.
Health and safety:
Some metal powders can be hazardous to handle, as they may produce dust or fumes that can be harmful to inhale. It is important to follow proper safety procedures when handling metal powders and to use appropriate personal protective equipment.
