What is 3D printing metal powder?
3D printing metal powder is an important material in metal materials. 3D printing metal powder is a group of metal particles smaller than 1mm. It includes a series of alloys such as single metal powder, industrial steel, cobalt-chromium alloy, titanium alloy, and some refractory compound powder with metal properties. The difference between 3D printing metal powder and general 3D materials is that it has good plasticity because of its fine powder shape; at the same time, it meets a series of requirements such as small particle size, high sphericity, good fluidity, compactness, narrow particle size distribution, low carbon content, low boron content, etc. The preparation methods of 3D printed metal powder include two methods, one is a physical-chemical method, and the other is a mechanical method. The physical-chemical method includes the reduction, deposition, electrolysis, and electrochemical corrosion methods. The application range of 3D printed metal powder is wide, Especially in the high-tech field of aerospace and aviation, which is vigorously developed by the country; 3d printing metal powder is also used in medical and automotive fields such as dentistry. Medical researchers can use these materials to manufacture customized implants and complete medical equipment.
Preparation of metal powder for 3D printing
Due to the different requirements of the application and subsequent forming process, the preparation methods of metal powder are also different. The preparation process mainly includes the physical-chemical method and mechanical method. In the powder metallurgy industry, the electrolytic method, reduction method, atomization method and other preparation process methods are widely used, but it should be noted that the electrolytic method and reduction method have certain limitations; it does not apply to the Preparation of alloy powder. The metal powder used for additive manufacturing is mainly concentrated in titanium alloy, superalloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, high-strength steel, and die steel. To meet the requirements of additive manufacturing equipment and process, the metal powder must have low oxygen and nitrogen content, good sphericity, narrow particle size distribution range and high bulk density. This leads to plasma as a different process technology, The application in the treatment and synthesis of powder materials has become high-tech in the industry. At present, it has become a research hotspot in many countries.
 
Use of 3D printing metal powder
1. Automobile: 3D printing is also used in automobiles. It is mainly powder steel for 3D printing. The steel has excellent hardness, wear resistance and deformation resistance./In high temperatures, steel can also maintain good toughness/automobile parts can be used/, and 3D metal powder can also be used in the body. After spraying a layer of powder on the body, it has a good thermal insulation effect. And the metal powder outer film can also protect the body from damage
2. Military: Chongqing Zenglong New Materials Technology applies 3D printing powder to the military field, such as aluminium alloy powder and silicon. It is light, strong and wear-resistant. The military field has high requirements for product technology and requirements, so it is also necessary to grasp the standard of each powder used in the milling process
3. Medical treatment: 3D metal powder is used in medical treatment, mainly for preparing medical instruments with 3D metal powder. Because many medical instruments have high manual production costs and high risks and the formed products are not exquisite, 3D is used.
 
Price of 3D printing metal powder
3D printing metal powder particle size and purity will affect the product's price, and the purchase volume can also affect the cost of 3D printing metal powder. A large amount of large amount will be lower. The price of 3D printing metal powder can be found on our company's official website.
