Powder analysis
The analyses on powders that we can perform for you
Check the compliance of your metal powders
In processes such as sintering or production of components by additive technology (additive manufacturing), the control and analysis of the raw material: metal powders, turns out to be fundamental. Their compliance conditions all the subsequent steps of these production processes, and post-sintering or printing control are also important to attest to the quality of the final artifact.
In the world of metal powders, the main tests that characterize powders are:
- chemical characterization
- granulometry
- morphology
- density
- smoothness
- thermal properties
We carry out different types of tests on metal powders, both for what concerns the development stage and for production quality control.
Analysis on powders
- Combined chemical-morphological analysis of dust (SEM)
- Moisture content of powders method EN 1097-5, ASTM D2216
- Visual examination (4606M PAR. 7.5)
- Apparent density - ASTM method B212 (hall), ASTM b417 (carney), ISO 3923
- Tap density - ASTM Method D7481, ASTM B527
- Flow rate - ASTM method B213, ASTM B964, ISO 4490
- Laser Sizing-Granulometry - ASTM Method B822, ISO 13320
- Sizing-granulometry with sieves - ASTM Method B214
