Aluminum 5083 20μm-63μm
Aluminum 5083 is known for its excellent corrosion resistance and high strength, making it a popular choice for several applications in advanced manufacturing. Its strength-to-weight ratio is particularly advantageous, allowing for the creation of lightweight yet durable parts. Aluminum 5083 can be easily machined and welded, enhancing its versatility in additive manufacturing processes.
The 20-63 µm particle size suggests good spreadability for recoating systems with recoat speeds up to 150 mm/s. Other tailored particle size distributions are available upon request.
Powder designed for
Directed Energy Deposition
MPW metal powder is manufactured utilizing our DirectPowder™ process. The mechanical only, high-yield, no-melt technology maintains the microstructure and temper of the bar stock material, yielding a consistent size and shape and narrow particle size distribution.
