ICTM Aachen – International Center for Turbomachinery ManufacturingQuality Criteria for Additive Manufacturing Powder
What are key quality criteria for AM powders?
Challenge and Motivation
- Powder quality is highly relevant for additive manufacturing process results
- Currently, there are no quantifiable key quality criteria or standards available for AM powders
Objective
- Acquisition and analysis of different powders for Laser Metal Deposition (LMD)
- LMD trials and analysis of deposited samples
- Correlation of powder properties with process results
- Development of a procedure for identification of quality criteria for powders
