Additive Manufacture POWDER

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Asia-general is a producer of gas atomized metal powders in particle sizes up to 250 μm. Our specialty is the production of fine metal powder, less than 38 μm. Capabilities include supply of metal powder in small lots for prototype development up to high volume batches for large scale production. Metal powders for a wide range of applications Asia-general offers metal powders for an extensive range of applications. The most common ones are:

- Additive manufacturing (3D printing, rapid prototyping)
- Brazing
- Cold Spray and Thermal Spray
- Metal injection moulding (MIM)

Powder characteristics

Asia-general metal powder for additive manufacturing (3D printing, rapid prototyping) are characterized by a spherical morphology and high packing density, which confer good flow properties. For powder bed processes these are essential when applying fresh powder layers to the bed to ensure uniform and consistent part build.

For blown powder processes good flow ensures uniform build rates. Tight control of the particle size distribution also help ensure good flowability. Low oxygen powders result in clean microstructures and low inclusion levels in the finished parts.

Particle size distributions

Asia-general metal powder for additive manufacturing (3D printing, rapid prototyping) is available in a wide range of particle size distributions that are tailored to the individual additive manufacturing systems. They can also be tailored to the particular requirements of the end application, both in terms of mechanical performance and surface finish.
