What is the powder used for Metal 3D Printing?

Flowability: A key characteristic for powders made of metal is their possibility of flowing through the 3D printer. Materials that have higher flowability are able to be controlled with greater ease and create solid layers and products. Additionally, they tend to make less pieces with irregular layers. The better flowability of powder makes it easier to produce a metal 3D item.

Steel 316L powder Stainless

Stainless steel 316L powder has been thoroughly examined to understand its impact on AM. It is a representative material, so results can be extrapolated to other metallic alloys. The powder's size distribution, as determined by the 4S process is 9.43 mm. Its particle shape factors (PSF) is in the vicinity of one. The properties of the powder are described in Table 1.

Titanium

The most widely used metal alloy that is used when it comes to 3D printing processes is titan. It is an extremely strong and durable metal that is perfect for the production of functional parts prototyping, prototypes and other products for aerospace, military and automotive uses. It is also biocompatible and is often used for medical implants.

The advantages to titanium powder is numerous, and the material is becoming more popular in additive manufacturing applications. It is nearly half in weight than steel, and its unique characteristics makes it an excellent candidate for printing 3D. Titanium is a lightweight material, it is heat-resistant also chemically resistant and is biocompatible. In addition to its numerous advantages, it is especially beneficial in automotive and aerospace applications where the weight of an object is crucial.

Niobium

Niobium powder is a fantastic material for 3D printing using metal since it is bio-inert and is simple to process. When it comes to additive manufacturing, it is used to make niobium-based alloys which can then be used to manufacture aerospace parts and engines. This process is known as laser-based powder bed fusion (also called SLM), and it makes use of lasers to selectively melt the powder in order to create metals.

Niobium is a chemically similar material to tantalum. its melting areas are comparable. They also have the same thermal and electrical conductivity. These properties make them suitable for chemical processing. They're both used in the manufacture of capacitors and some other electric devices.
