What type of powder is used for 3D Printing Metal?

Flowability: An important characteristic for metal powder is the ability to flow through the 3D printer. Materials with better flowability may be used more efficiently and produce more consistent products and layers. Furthermore, they tend to make less goods with uneven layers. The increased flowability of the metal powder makes it easier to produce a metal 3D item.

Stainless steel 316L powder

Steel 316L powder made of stainless steel has been studied extensively for its effects on AM. It is a representative metal which means that results can be applied to other alloys. The distribution of size of the powder, as determined by the 4S process is 9.43 millimeters. Its particle shape factors (PSF) is very close to one. The powder's properties are summarized in Table 1.

Titanium

The most widely used metal alloy that is utilized when it comes to 3D printing processes is titan. It is an extremely strong and durable metal that is ideal for making functional components or prototypes as well as other products for aerospace, military and automotive use. It also has biocompatibility and is often used in medical implants.

The benefits associated with titanium powder are many and the powder is rapidly gaining recognition in additive manufacturing. It is nearly half what the mass of steel, and its unique characteristics make it an ideal material of 3D printers. Titanium is extremely light, resistant to heat and chemically resistant, and is biocompatible. With its numerous qualities, titanium is particularly useful for automobile and aerospace projects because the amount of weight that is placed on the item is vital.

Niobium

Niobium powder can be a wonderful material to use in 3D printing on metal because it is bio-inert and is easy to work with. When it comes to additive manufacturing, it is used to produce niobium compounds that can be used to manufacture aerospace parts and engines. This process is called"laser-based powder bed-fusion" (also known as SLM), and it uses a laser to selectively melt powders to create metals.

Niobium is a chemically related metal with tantalum, and both melt points similar. They also share a similar thermal and electrical conductivity. This makes them ideal when it comes to processing chemicals. In actuality, they are extensively used in the fabrication of capacitors as well as others electrical components.
