3D Metal Powder IMT AlSi10Mg 15-53 Microns 5 kg

Performance of the IMT AlSi10Mg 15-53 µm 5 kg 3D Metal Powder

Achieve superior structural integrity and exceptional geometric fidelity in your metal Additive Manufacturing projects with the IMT AlSi10Mg 15-53 µm 5 kg 3D Metal Powder. Designed specifically for Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and SLM systems, this aluminium alloy powder delivers the critical balance of low weight and high thermal conductivity required for producing complex geometries in aerospace and automotive applications.

Optimised Particle Sphericity and Flow

The success of a metal print depends heavily on powder behaviour during the recoating process. This IMT powder features a sphericity of ≥ 90% and a Carney flow rate of ≤ 15 s/50g. Why does this matter? Highly spherical particles ensure smooth, uniform layers as the recoater blade passes over the build platform. This uniformity minimises internal porosity and maximises packing density (≥ 1.40 g/cm³), resulting in dense, void-free parts directly from the printer.

Chemical Purity for Demanding Applications

Material contamination can cause catastrophic part failure under load. The IMT AlSi10Mg 15-53 µm 5 kg 3D Metal Powder is produced with strict impurity controls, keeping oxygen content below 500 ppm and nitrogen content below 100 ppm. This high purity prevents the formation of brittle oxide inclusions, ensuring that mechanical properties — such as a tensile strength of 310–330 MPa — remain consistent throughout the entire build volume. This makes it an excellent choice for functional prototyping of heat exchangers, thin-walled housings, or load-bearing brackets.

Post-Processing and Mechanical Performance

Beyond the printing process itself, this AlSi10Mg alloy responds predictably to heat treatment. With a yield strength of 210–220 MPa and elongation exceeding 11%, parts printed with this material offer significant ductility. This allows post-processing steps such as machining or threading to be carried out without cracking, bridging the gap between rapid prototyping and end-use manufacturing for industrial engineering applications.
