Recently, the R&D center of Shaanxi Nonferrous Yulin New Materials Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Yulin New Materials Group”) announced that the high-quality aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy powder produced using single-stream atomization technology has reached an industry-leading level, successfully validating the feasibility of the new preparation process technology.
Data shows that the performance of the batch of powder produced by this breakthrough preparation technology is excellent: sphericity exceeds 90%, flowability reaches 52.32 seconds/50 grams, and the oxygen increase is only two hundred and ninety parts per million.
High-Quality Aluminum-Silicon-Magnesium Alloy Powder
The new preparation process technology relies on the R&D center team’s independently designed and customized pilot atomization powder production line for research and development. By applying single-stream atomization technology and optimizing tooling and controlling parameters, the equipment functionality has been upgraded and stabilized, with the product yield consistently above 80%, far exceeding traditional processes and industry averages. This technology can be widely applied to the manufacturing of non-ferrous metals and their alloys such as aluminum and copper, actively empowering the additive manufacturing of complex components, and is expected to significantly enhance 3D printing efficiency and quality.
