Chrome Steel Powder
Metal parts can be quickly printed in low quantities and cost-effectively.
Aluminium alloy powder
AlSi12Mg, the primary aluminum alloy is used for 3D metal prints. Aluminium silicate 12 (lightweight addition) is used in 3D metal printing to produce powders of metal that have excellent thermal properties. Combining silicon and magenly makes aluminum alloys stronger and more rigid. These alloys can be used to create complex shapes or thin walls in areas with high thermal property. Aluminium alloy is the most widely used non-ferrous, structural metal. Because of its low density, high specific strengths, and ability to be malleable it is as good or better than premium steel. 3D printing of aluminum alloy can produce compact parts that have smaller structures than those made from cast molds. Prices per piece may drop as much as 30% while weights could fall to as little 22%
Cobalt chrome alloy powder
It can be used in dentistry, and it is extremely resistant to wear.
Copper alloy dust
It is a great choice for thermal management due to its excellent thermal conductivity as well as high electrical conductivity. Copper can be combined with complex internal structures to produce design degrees, and also used for conformal cooling.
Titanium alloy powder
It’s widely used in aerospace. 3D printing has many advantages. 3D printing allows you to design a product that is simpler, more affordable and replaces the existing solid product body. This will result in lower weight and better mechanical properties. Each piece may be produced at a lower cost and parts might also weigh less.
Nickel alloy pulver
Its high resistance to corrosion and oxidation makes it ideal for use in high temperature environments. It will melt to form an oxide layer that is thickened and hardened. It protects nickel alloys from internal corrosion. It maintains the mechanical properties at various temperatures.
Is powdered material allowed for 3D printing?
It is possible to use 3D modeling data to guide laser beams that have high energy to melt the metal matrix. Then, they are automatically stacked and shaped into solid parts.
3D-Printed Metal Powders
The best way to make metal powders is solid-state.
Numerous companies employ electrolysis as a method to create elemental metal particles. These methods can’t be used to make alloy powders.
You can make alloy powder by using the Atomization process.
It is possible to also make powdered metals by electrolysis. Different metals can either be spongy or powdered depending on their electrolyte concentration and its composition. You can rinse, dry, then reduce the amount until you want to anneal them. This process is extremely useful for producing pure metal powder. This method is very useful in producing copper powder that’s highlyconductive.
An atomization method uses mechanical methods to reduce molten steel into pieces less than 150mm. The atomization procedure involves ultrasonic, vacuum, centrifugal, and second flow methods. Industrial production can use any of the atomizing methods. Water gas atomization, which is an industrial technique for making metal powder, is the most effective. This process requires very little energy and is extremely simple.
3D printing requires metal powder to perform as per the specifications
1. Purity
The presence of ceramic inclusions can affect product performance in a big way. Ceramic inclusions have low melting temperatures, which makes powder more difficult to sinter. Also, it is crucial to regulate the levels of oxygen and nitrogen. Atomization Technique is by far the most commonly used method to prepare powder. The powder is easily oxidized due to its large surface. Customers require the index for aerospace applications and other specific uses. The powder oxygen level in titanium, superalloys, and other superalloys is between 0.013% and 0.007%. The range of powder oxygen levels in stainless steel is 0.010% to 0.025%.
2. Powders that have low density and are fluid
Fluidity has an impact on both the stability of powder feeding and its uniformity. Powder feeding fluidity can be affected by its bulk density and morphology. With increasing powder particle size, fluidity will rise. Powders that have large amounts of powder will appear more homogeneous in their shape. Finer powders might be available than you’d expect. The fluidity of the particles is affected by their density and relative densities. How water and gases are absorbed on the surface of particles affects fluidity.
3. Powder particle size distribution
There will be different needs for 3D printing equipment, powder distribution and process. The most common powder sizes used for 3D printing range from 15 to 53mm up to 53-105mm. There are many energy options that can be used to select the right size powder. The laser energy-based printers are capable of printing powder sizes between 15 to 53mm. Their fine focal spot melts tiny powders. For melting powder, powder-laying printers using electron beam work better. This printer can work with coarse powder upto 53 mm. You can use the consumables for coaxial feeder printing of powders with sizes ranging from 105 to 150mm.
4. Powder morphology
You should consider powder manufacturing methods. Molten fluid and metal gas powders are typically more cylindrical than the powder particles. But, powders made with molten fluid and metal gas are more cylindrical than those that contain them. The powders prepared using aqueous electrolysis often become dendritic. They also have an irregular shape. Fluidity will be higher in powders that have a greater sphericity. This allows 3D printing to be easier and more efficient.
