The global aerospace manufacturing industry is facing dual challenges of lightweighting and high performance.
According to Wohlers Report 2024, aerospace has become one of the fastest-growing sectors in the global additive manufacturing market, accounting for over 16%. It is estimated that reducing the launch weight of a spacecraft by 1 kg can save approximately $20,000 to $30,000 in launch costs. Achieving lightweighting while ensuring strength and safety remains a core challenge in material development.
Technical Challenges
Magnesium alloys, with a density of approximately 1.82 g/cm³—about 35% lighter than aluminum—offer inherent advantages for lightweight applications. However, in additive manufacturing, magnesium powder is prone to oxidation and combustion, and traditional irregular powder morphology often leads to issues such as porosity, cracks, and insufficient strength in formed parts.
Solution
Tangshan Weihao Magnesium Powder Co., Ltd. has developed a proprietary centrifugal atomization process to produce spherical magnesium alloy powder with the following characteristics:
No hollow powder → Significantly reduces porosity, eliminates the risk of "lack of fusion" associated with traditional atomization processes, reduces powder waste, and lowers production costs.
Low oxygen content → Effectively minimizes pore defects and enhances the mechanical properties of components.
High sphericity rate → Uniform gaps between spherical particles improve flowability and powder spreading efficiency. Enhanced wettability during melting reduces printing defects and improves surface quality.
High tap density → Tighter powder packing reduces interlayer porosity. During laser melting, a continuous molten pool is easily formed, achieving a component density of over 99% and mechanical properties close to forged levels.
