Description

Additive manufacturing technology has initiated a transformative phase in the industrial landscape, particularly in the realm of metal 3D printing. A key element for the success of this revolutionary manufacturing method lies in the availability of high-quality metal powders that meet the specific requirements of various applications. This work sheds light on the innovative development of new alloys for metal 3D printing by a leading powder manufacturer. The first alloy presents a cobalt-free alternative to the established 1.2709 maraging steel, aiming to reduce dependence on cobalt-containing materials while offering comparable mechanical properties. By analyzing printability, strength, and hardness, the suitability of this alloy for various applications is assessed.
The second alloy showcases exceptional corrosion and wear resistance, specifically engineered for compatibility with glass fiber-reinforced plastics. This alloy aims to enhance the durability of tools and components in environments with abrasive materials. The investigation focuses on optimizing alloy composition and evaluating its mechanical properties and suitability for the 3D printing process.
Introducing these new alloys expands the range of available materials for metal 3D printing, opening possibilities for innovative applications across various industries.
