Quick Answer Hastelloy C276 welding powder is a spherical Ni-Mo-Cr alloy feedstock (UNS N10276, nominal 57% Ni, 16% Mo, 15.5% Cr, 4% W, 5% Fe) used for plasma transferred arc (PTA) cladding, laser cladding, directed energy deposition (DED), and increasingly laser powder bed fusion of corrosion-resistant components. Seven properties define its engineering value: outstanding resistance […]

Quick Answer Haynes 188 cobalt alloy powder is a spherical Co-Ni-Cr-W superalloy feedstock (UNS R30188) designed for laser powder bed fusion and directed energy deposition of components that must survive oxidizing environments up to 1095 deg C (2000 deg F). Its signature ingredient is a small lanthanum addition (0.02-0.12%) that dramatically improves the adherence of

Quick Answer 4340 alloy steel powder is a spherical Ni-Cr-Mo low alloy steel feedstock (nominal 0.40% C, 1.8% Ni, 0.8% Cr, 0.25% Mo, balance Fe) used in laser powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition, binder jetting, and powder metallurgy to produce ultra-high-strength structural parts. In powder bed fusion systems it performs well but demands respect

Quick Answer AISi7Mg LPBF powder is a spherical Al-Si-Mg casting-type alloy feedstock (6.5-7.5% Si, 0.45-0.7% Mg, balance Al) engineered for laser powder bed fusion, offering a forgiving process window, near-full density at standard parameters, and T6-age-hardenable strength around 300 MPa. Optimizing processing parameters starts with the powder itself: specify a 15-53 micron PSD (D50 around

Quick Answer FeNi42 soft magnetic powder is a spherical iron-nickel alloy feedstock containing approximately 42% nickel with the balance iron, combining useful soft magnetic behavior with the exceptionally low, controlled thermal expansion that defines the classic Alloy 42 (1.3917 / Nilo 42) wrought grade.
