Atomized spherical Al-based alloy powder

aluminum alloy spherical powders were prepared by spray technology in our company, these alloy powders have the following advantages: good sphericity, less binder, high bulk density, low oxygen content (<600ppm), higher latent heat, heat of combustion, theoretical density and oxygen balance.

Atomized spherical aluminum-based alloy powders are highly versatile and widely used in advanced manufacturing techniques due to their consistent shape, fine particle size, and uniform distribution.

Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing)

Applications:

Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Electron Beam Melting (EBM), and Direct Energy Deposition (DED) processes use atomized spherical aluminum-based alloy powders to produce high-precision, complex parts. The spherical shape enhances the powder’s flowability, which is crucial for reliable and consistent printing.

Common Alloys: AlSi10Mg, Al-6061, and other aluminum alloys are frequently used in 3D printing for lightweight, durable parts.

Powder Metallurgy (PM)

Applications:

Aluminum-based alloy powders are widely used in powder metallurgy for producing high-performance, near-net-shape components. The spherical nature of the powder aids in better powder flow and densification during compaction and sintering.

Typical Products: Automotive components (brackets, engine parts), gears, bearings, and other mechanical parts.

Metal Injection Molding (MIM)

Applications:

Atomized aluminum alloy powders are combined with binders to form a feedstock for Metal Injection Molding (MIM). After injection molding and sintering, the result is a dense, high-strength part with complex geometries.

Industries: Electronics (connectors, sensors), automotive (small engine parts), medical devices (implants).

Thermal Spray Coatings

Applications:

Thermal spraying techniques (such as plasma spraying, flame spraying, and HVOF) utilize atomized aluminum alloy powders to create protective coatings on various substrates. These coatings provide corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and thermal protection.

Common Alloys: Al-Fe, Al-Si, and Al-Mg alloys are used in thermal spraying to create durable, heat-resistant coatings, especially in aerospace, marine, and industrial equipment.

Casting and Die-Casting

Applications:

Atomized aluminum alloy powders can be used in casting and die-casting applications, where high-quality, complex, and lightweight components are required. In casting, the powders help to improve the material properties of the final product, reducing defects like porosity and improving strength.
