High Strength and Mechanical Performance

After appropriate processing and heat treatment, manufactured components can achieve high hardness and tensile strength while maintaining the toughness required for demanding industrial applications. According to the supplied product information, typical hardness can reach approximately 35–50 HRC, with tensile strength exceeding 1000 MPa, depending on the final processing and heat-treatment conditions.

Eccellente resistenza alla corrosione

The iron-based alloy system is designed to provide strong corrosion resistance for components operating in demanding industrial environments. This makes the powder suitable for applications involving energy equipment, industrial tooling, molds, mechanical components, and other parts requiring both mechanical strength and environmental resistance.

Optimized for Metal Additive Manufacturing

High powder sphericity and controlled particle size distribution contribute to:

• Excellent powder flowability
• Uniform powder spreading
• Stable layer formation
• Consistent melting behavior
• Reduced risk of powder-related printing defects
• Improved repeatability during additive manufacturing

A typical particle size range of 15 – 53 μm is suitable for common laser powder bed fusion applications, subject to the requirements of the specific machine and process.

VIGA / EIGA Gas-Atomized Powder

Filtri VIGA and EIGA gas atomization technologies can be used to achieve highly spherical particles, controlled chemical composition, low impurity levels, and consistent batch quality.
