Successful additive manufacturing with powdered metals demands understanding of the materials involved. The following articles offer insight:
- Material Differences
Additive manufacturing demands different thinking about the metal stock.
- Plasma Spheroidization Improves Quality of Metal Powder for AM
Plasma technology produces metal powders that are more spherical and provide better properties for additive manufacturing.
- Experiment Tests the Reusability of Titanium Powder
A study ran the same batch of powder through build after build, evaluating it each time. The results support the viability of AM for ongoing production.
- Case Studies of Multi-Material Manufacturing
Tools for injection molding, die casting and powder compaction all illustrate the potential to achieve greater part performance and manufacturing efficiency by blending workpiece materials through AM.
