What is 3d printing metal powder?
The difference between 3D printed metal powder, and general 3D materials lie in that it is good plastic because it is a fine powder and meets the requirements of small diameter, high ball formation, good fluidity, density, narrow particle size distribution, low carbon content and boron content.3D printing materials can include ceramic materials, metal materials, plastic materials, sand, and other different materials as "printing materials."
Main uses of 3d printing metal powder
3D printing metal powder is widely used, especially in the high-tech field of aerospace vigorously developed by the country. In addition, 3D printing metal powder is also used in dental and other medical and automotive fields. Medical professional researchers can use these materials to make tailored implants and sophisticated medical devices, etc.
Performance requirements for 3D printing for metal powder
Pure degree. Ceramic inclusions will significantly reduce the final assembly's performance. These inclusions generally have a high melting point and are difficult to sinter, so there must be no ceramic inclusions in the powder. In addition, the oxygen and nitrogen content also need to be strictly controlled, as powder fluidity and loss loading density. Powder fluidity directly affects the uniformity and stability of powder delivery during the printing process. The fluidity is related to the powder morphology, particle size distribution, and loose packing density. The larger the powder particles, the more regular the particle shape, and the smaller the proportion of very fine powder in the particle size composition, the better the fluidity is. The particle density is constant, the relative density increases, and the powder fluidity increases. In addition, the particle surface adsorption of water and gas will reduce the powder mobility; powder particle size distribution. Different 3D printing equipment and forming processes have different requirements for powder particle distribution. The particle size of metal powder for 3D printing is mainly divided by the metal printer with different energy sources, the powder printer with laser as an energy source, and the electron beam as an energy source. The powder morphology is closely related to the method of powder preparation. Generally, when the metal gas or molten liquid state to powder, the powder particles tend to be spherical. From solid state to powder, the powder particles are mostly irregular. In contrast, most of the powder prepared by aqueous solution electrolysis is dendritic. Generally speaking, the higher the sphericity, the better the fluidity of the powder particles.
Importance of 3D metal powder printing
Metal powders make 3D printing faster and allow for rapid prototyping. The manufacturer can also modify the design more efficiently. This approach is also cost-effective because the metal 3D printer uses only the material needed to manufacture the desired parts. Making it easy to design complex machine parts and enabling the production of "impossible" machine parts.
Price of 3d printing metal powder
The different price of 3d printing metal powder purity is also different. The market price of 3d printing metal powder is in the process of dynamic change. The price of 3d printing metal powder can be found on our company's official website. If you need it, you can ask us at any time.
