3D Metal Powder IMT IN718 15-53 Microns 5 kg

Engineers requiring exceptional tensile strength and thermal stability for critical components turn to the IMT IN718 15-53 µm 5 kg 3D Metal Powder. This nickel-based superalloy (Inconel 718) is formulated specifically for Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) systems, enabling the production of parts that withstand extreme environments where conventional metals fail. It is the reference material for aerospace prototyping, gas turbine components, and high-performance industrial applications.

Capabilities of the IMT IN718 15-53 µm 5 kg 3D Metal Powder

High-Temperature Resistance and Creep Resistance

The defining characteristic of this alloy is its ability to maintain structural integrity under high thermal stress. With a composition rich in Nickel (52.0%) and Chromium (18.5%), alongside Molybdenum, the material exhibits outstanding resistance to oxidation and corrosion. In operating environments reaching 650°C, printed parts retain a tensile strength exceeding 1060 MPa. This makes the IMT IN718 15-53 µm 5 kg 3D Metal Powder indispensable for manufacturing rocket engine exhausts, heat exchangers, and turbine blades that must survive prolonged heat exposure without deformation or creep.

Optimised Particle Sphericity for PBF Efficiency

Consistent flowability is non-negotiable for high-quality metal 3D printing. Produced via the Electrode Induction-melting Gas Atomisation (EIGA) process, this powder achieves a sphericity of ≥90% and high purity, free from ceramic crucible contamination. The precise particle size distribution of 15-53 μm ensures high packing density and uniform dispersion across the build platform. A Hall flow rate of ≤15 s/50g enables rapid recoating cycles, reducing total print time and minimising porosity in the final sintered part.

Mechanical Superiority for End-Use Functional Parts

Beyond prototyping, this powder is designed for the manufacture of final production parts. Following standard heat treatment, components feature a yield strength of 1070–1140 MPa at ambient temperatures. The material allows considerable post-processing flexibility; parts can be welded, machined, and treated to meet specific mechanical requirements. Whether used for complex lattice structures in the energy sector or custom tooling in motorsport, the resulting density (apparent density ≥4.3 g/cm³) ensures predictable, isotropic performance.
