Tangshan Wei Hao Magnesium Powder Shines at 2025 China (Hangzhou) Additive Manufacturing Conference
Leading the New Trend in Lightweight Magnesium Alloy Materials
On July 17, 2025, the 4th China (Hangzhou) Additive Manufacturing Innovation Conference grandly opened at the Hangzhou Tai Xu Lake Holiday Hotel. Jointly organized by the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Hangzhou Dianzi University, the conference brought together over 300 experts, scholars, industry leaders, and corporate representatives from across the country. As a leading supplier of magnesium alloy materials for additive manufacturing, Tangshan Wei Hao Magnesium Powder Co., Ltd. was invited to participate and became a major highlight with its high-performance atomized magnesium alloy powder.
Experts and Academicians Discuss Additive Manufacturing, Booming Demand for Lightweight Magnesium Alloys
The conference featured keynote speeches by more than 20 industry authorities, including British Royal Academy of Engineering Fellow Li Lin, Hangzhou Dianzi University Vice President Yan Chenggang, and Researcher Pu Jibin from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology, CAS. The event sparked enthusiastic discussions, with active audience participation.
After listening to the report titled "Demand for Magnesium Alloy Components in Aerospace and Research Progress in Additive Manufacturing Technology" by Researcher Ke Linda from the Shanghai Aerospace Precision Machinery Research Institute, attendees engaged in lively discussions on the application of magnesium and magnesium alloy powders in additive manufacturing. Due to their low density, high specific strength, and excellent vibration damping properties, magnesium alloys are becoming a key lightweight material for high-end fields such as aerospace, medical devices, and automotive industries. The quality of magnesium powder directly determines the performance of additively manufactured components.
Wei Hao Magnesium Powder’s Core Technological Breakthroughs Addressing Industry Challenges
During the conference, as a leading manufacturer of magnesium alloy powder, Tangshan Wei Hao Magnesium Powder attracted significant attention. The company’s centrifugally atomized spherical magnesium alloy powder offers the following advantages:
○Low Oxygen Content – Oxygen content as low as <300ppm, reducing porosity defects and improving mechanical properties
○High Sphericity – Excellent flowability, compatible with high-precision printing processes such as SLM, LMD, EBM, and BJ
○No Hollow Powder – Eliminates the risk of "unfused defects" common in traditional atomization processes
○ Wide Application Range – Suitable for aerospace, low-altitude economy, consumer electronics, orthopedic implants, and new energy vehicle components
Kong Chenyang, Deputy General Manager of Weihao Magnesium company, emphasized in discussions: "Compared to traditional aluminum alloys (2.6~2.9 g/cm³) and titanium alloys (4.4~4.6 g/cm³), magnesium alloys can achieve 30%~50% weight reduction. As a drafting unit of China’s National Standard for Magnesium and Magnesium Alloy Powders for Additive Manufacturing, our atomized spherical powders meet the stringent requirements of aerospace-grade standards."*
