Metal powders

Introducing the Certification: ISO/ASTM TR 52952:2023 - Correlating of rotating drum measurement with powder spreadability in PBF-LB machines

We are thrilled to present the latest technical report in the field of additive manufacturing: ISO/ASTM TR 52952:2023 focusing on addressing a critical aspect of additive manufacturing: the characterization and optimization of metallic powders used in powder bed fusion and binder jetting processes.

Flowability and cohesion determination of metal powders using GranuHeap and GranuDrum

The GranuDrum is an instrument able to estimate the flow ability and the cohesion of granular materials by comparing the wave of powder under motion in a rotating drum. The obtained avalanche angle and cohesive index authorize a simple and fast comparison between various samples...

Interparticle cohesion in metal powders - GranuHeap Analysis

The GranuHeap is an instrument able to estimate the cohesion of granular materials by comparing the shape of a true heap with the shape of a heap presumably ideal and free from cohesion.
