FAQ
What are the key properties of high-quality metal powders for additive manufacturing?
High-quality metal powders should feature high sphericity, narrow particle size distribution, low oxygen and nitrogen content, and excellent flowability. These characteristics ensure stable powder spreading, uniform layer melting, and consistent mechanical properties in 3D-printed components.

Why is atomized spherical magnesium alloy powder suitable for additive manufacturing?
Atomized spherical magnesium alloy powders, such as AZ91D and WE43, combine lightweight, high strength, and biocompatibility, making them ideal for aerospace, automotive, and biomedical applications. Their excellent flow and low impurity levels reduce defects during laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) processes.
