Metal Powders

<< Back to Metals

Metal powders are composed of fine metallic particles and are known for their exceptional versatility and efficiency in various applications, making them crucial in advanced manufacturing processes.

Their characteristics can be tailored through meticulous control of composition and particle size, allowing the creation of specialized powders with enhanced attributes such as improved flowability, compressibility, and sinterability.

Constant innovation and rigorous analysis are necessary to refine these properties further:

  • Elemental Analysis: Determines the exact chemical composition of metal powders, ensuring the correct alloying elements are present to achieve desired characteristics like strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance.
  • Particle Analysis: Evaluates the microstructural features of the metal powders, detecting inclusions and defects that could affect performance, density, and mechanical properties.
  • Structural Analysis: Assesses the mechanical properties of the metal powders, including tensile strength, hardness, and toughness, which are crucial for ensuring the material's reliability and performance in various applications.
  • Surface Analysis: Examines the surface characteristics of metal powders, determining their ability to withstand environmental degradation and corrosion. This is particularly important for applications in harsh conditions where surface integrity is critical.
