DED offers unique advantages for fabricating large, near-net-shape components. However, the success of this process hinges on the selection of the right metal powder. We use ASTM certified metal powders from the top global manufacturers, which offer:
- Excellent flow characteristics: Optimized powder morphology ensures smooth feeding and consistent layer formation during DED printing.
- Superior weldability: DED relies on melting and fusing metal powder layers. These materials are formulated for optimal inter-layer bonding, leading to strong, reliable parts.
- Minimal residual stress: DED processes can introduce residual stress in parts. The materials we use are specifically engineered to minimize this effect, ensuring dimensional stability.
