What is 3d printing metal powder?
3D printing metal powder should have good plasticity but also must meet the requirements of small particle size, narrow particle size distribution, high sphericity, good fluidity, and high loose packing density. The metal powders used in most 3D printers include stainless steel, aluminum, cobalt-chromium, copper, titanium, and nickel alloy. Ferre-based alloy is the most important and largest metal material in engineering technology. It is mostly used for molding complex structures and is widely used in aerospace, automobile, shipbuilding, machinery manufacturing, and other industries.
Main uses of 3d printing metal powder
The 3D metal powder will be used in the body after spraying a layer of powder on the body of the car has a better insulation effect, and the metal powder outer film can also protect the body from damage; 3D printed powder can also be used in the military field, such as aluminum alloy powder, silicon. It is light, strong, and wear-resistant. In the military field, the technology and requirements are relatively high, so the standard of each powder; the application of 3D metal powder in medical treatment is mainly to prepare 3D metal powder because many medical instruments have high production costs and high risk and the forming products are not exquisite. So use 3D print metal powder. Medical personnel can use these tailored medical equipment and perfect equipment.
How to produce a 3D-printed metal powder
There are two preparation methods for 3D-printed metal powder, one is the physical-chemical method, and the other is the mechanical method. The physical and chemical methods include the reduction, deposition, electrolysis, and electrochemical corrosion methods. The atomization method refers to the mechanical method of crushing the metal melt into particles of size less than 150 μ m. According to the classification of the crushing metal melt method, the atomization method includes the second-rate atomization method, centrifugal atomization, ultrasonic atomization, vacuum atomization, and so on. These atomization methods have characteristics, and all have been successfully applied in industrial production. Water and gas atomization has the advantages of simple production equipment, low energy consumption, and large batch quantity. It has become the main industrial production method of metal powder; electrolysis is another method for producing powder metal. By selecting the appropriate electrolyte composition, temperature, and concentration, different metals can be deposited as spongy or powdered and have current density. This can be followed by washing, drying, reducing, annealing, and crushing. This method produces a metal powder with very high purity. Because of its high energy demand, it is essentially used for high-conductive copper powder.
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.
