Al-Sc 20μm-63μm

Aluminum-Scandium (Al-Sc) alloy powder, with a particle size range of 20-63 µm, is engineered for advanced manufacturing, offering a unique combination of high strength, excellent weldability, and improved corrosion resistance. This advanced alloy benefits from the addition of scandium, enhancing grain refinement and elevating mechanical properties, making it highly suitable for aerospace and automotive applications. Al-Sc's superior performance at high temperatures and its ability to undergo heat treatment make it a prime choice for components requiring strength and durability under extreme conditions.

The 20-63 µm particle size suggests good spreadability for recoating systems with recoat speeds up to 170 mm/s, essential for producing parts with intricate designs and high-quality finishes. Other tailored particle size distributions are available upon request.
