FAQ

Q1

What is the flowability of this alloy powder?

Answer: As the powder particles are spherical and covered with a layer of nickel on the surface, this usually helps improve the powder's flowability. Good fluidity ensures uniform powder spreading and interlayer bonding during 3D printing.

Q2

What is the impact of powder particle size on 3D printing?

Answer: The powder's particle size distribution directly affects the resolution of 3D printing and the surface quality of the final component. The finer powder can provide higher resolution and a smoother surface, but it may also lead to more clogging or agglomeration during printing.

Q3

Do you need a special 3D printer to use this powder?

Answer: Yes, using this type of metal alloy powder typically requires specialized metal 3D printers, such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) or Electron Beam Melting (EBM) systems. These printers can handle high temperatures and metal powders' melting process.

Q4

Does the printed component require heat treatment?

Answer: Yes, metal 3D printed components usually require heat treatment to eliminate internal stress, improve mechanical properties, and optimize microstructure. The heat treatment parameters, such as temperature, time, and cooling rate, will be adjusted according to the specific alloy and application.

Q5

What are the special requirements for the storage and transportation of this powder?

Answer: As this is a metal powder, it should be avoided from moisture, oxidation, and contamination during storage and transportation. It is recommended to store the powder in a dry, sealed container and check its dryness and purity before use. In addition, relevant safety regulations should be followed to prevent powder leakage or accidental ignition.

Q6

What are the potential performance advantages of using this powder-printed component?

Answer: Due to the high density, melting point, and hardness of tungsten, as well as the toughness, corrosion resistance, and conductivity of nickel, components printed with this powder may have high strength, good wear resistance, and excellent high-temperature stability. These performance advantages give this alloy powder broad application potential in aerospace, energy, and automobiles.

Q7

How does the cost of this powder compare to other 3D printing materials?

Answer: Metal powder is usually more expensive than plastic or non-metallic 3D printing materials. The cost of nickel-coated tungsten powder depends on various factors, including the market prices of tungsten and nickel, the manufacturing process and quality of the powder, etc. Therefore, this powder may suit applications with high-performance requirements and budget constraints.

Q8

How to ensure the uniformity and consistency of powder during the printing process?

Answer: Ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the powder is crucial for obtaining high-quality 3D-printed components. This can be achieved by regularly stirring the powder, using a vibrating screen to remove agglomerates, and monitoring and controlling the powder temperature and humidity during printing. In addition, choosing a reputable powder supplier is also crucial to ensuring powder quality.
