AZ91D spherical alloy powder

AZ91D spherical alloy powder

Applications

Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing):

Processes: Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Electron Beam Melting (EBM), Direct Energy Deposition (DED)

Applications:

Aerospace: Lightweight components such as brackets, engine parts, and structural supports.

Automotive: Engine components, transmission systems, chassis, and body panels.

Medical Devices: Custom prosthetics, implants, and orthopedic parts where both strength and lightweight are essential.

Powder Metallurgy (PM):

Applications:

Automotive: Structural parts, bearings, and gears to reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency.

Aerospace: High-strength, lightweight components for aircraft and spacecraft.

Advantages: Spherical AZ91D powder improves the sintering process, resulting in high-density, durable parts with excellent mechanical properties, making it ideal for producing precision components.

Thermal Spray Coatings:

Applications:

Corrosion protection for parts exposed to marine environments, automotive exhaust systems, and industrial machinery.

Wear-resistant coatings for turbines, molds, and engine components.

Process: AZ91D powder is applied using thermal spray techniques such as plasma spraying, flame spraying, and HVOF (High-Velocity Oxygen Fuel), which improves the surface properties of components, providing protection from wear and corrosion.

Advantages: Coatings formed from AZ91D offer long-term protection, extending the life of components exposed to harsh conditions.

Die-Casting:

Applications:

Automotive: Engine blocks, wheels, brake components, and transmission casings.

Aerospace: Lightweight parts for aircraft, including structural components.

Metal Injection Molding (MIM):

Applications:

Automotive: Small components like connectors, brackets, and fasteners.

Medical: High-precision parts for surgical instruments and orthopedic implants.

Advantages: Using AZ91D spherical powder in MIM allows for the production of complex, high-precision parts with excellent surface finish and mechanical properties, while minimizing material waste.

Automotive Lightweighting:

Applications: The use of AZ91D spherical powder helps create lightweight components, including engine parts, chassis, brackets, and body panels, all of which contribute to fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.

Advantages: AZ91D’s low density and high strength make it ideal for reducing the overall weight of vehicles while maintaining or improving the performance and durability of components.
