如使用 additive manufacturing becomes prevalent across industries, manufacturers are challenged to identify and understand the properties of their materials. Our powder characterization services are the first step to make certain your materials are fit-for-purpose, no matter their application.
Metal additive manufacturing offers a new landscape of complex component design for industries, 包括航空航天, 运输, 医疗设备. Metal powders provide many benefits when compared to traditional metal forging. Manufacturers can print the part exactly as intended, which requires no machining, 减少材料浪费, and the powder left over after printing can be reused.
im体育APP’s powder characterization services
Our materials experts are at the forefront of additive manufacturing testing, providing comprehensive services from full-scope powder characterization services required by ISO/ASTM 52907 to 机械测试 到失效分析. We work to ensure your materials meet relevant standards, as well as any custom standards or test requests provided by your organization.
Powder characterization validates that the properties of the material are pure, uniform between batches, and ready to be 3D printed. Our powder characterization services include:
- 流量
- Apparent, tap and skeleton density
- Particle size distribution
- Particle form and shape
- 筛分分析
- Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) imaging
- 化学分析 including Atomic Absorption, Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), 和LECO分析
im体育APP also provides 硬度测试, 拉伸试验, 疲劳测试, and more to ensure crucial mechanical material properties weren’t lost in the printing process and to understand the strength and durability of the final product.
