IMT AlSi10Mg aluminum spherical powder 15-53 μm, 5 kg
IMT AlSi10Mg is an aluminum-based metal powder designed for 3D printing using SLM and LPBF technologies. It is used in the production of lightweight and strong structures for the aerospace industry, automotive manufacturing, electronics, professional sports, and medicine. The alloy combines low specific weight, high thermal conductivity, and excellent mechanical characteristics. Thanks to the high silicon (Si) content, the material has good fluidity in the molten state, ensuring the production of parts with complex geometry and thin walls without defects. The 15–53 μm fraction guarantees high layer packing density during 3D printing. The material is supplied in 5 kg sealed containers.
Advantages of AlSi10Mg powder in 3D printing
- High specific strength. Ideal strength-to-weight ratio for critical parts in the aerospace and transport sectors.
- Effective thermal conductivity. Fast and stable heat dissipation makes the material optimal for manufacturing compact radiators and heat exchangers.
- Reliable corrosion resistance. High resistance to oxidation of finished metal products under normal operating conditions.
- Excellent processability. Printed components are easily weldable and suitable for traditional mechanical processing (milling, grinding).
Technological properties of AlSi10Mg powder
The metal aluminum powder from IMT is fully optimized for layer-by-layer laser melting using SLM and LPBF technologies. The spherical shape of particles ≥90% and stable Hall flow ≤18 s/50g ensure flawless smoothness of material application in the working area. This allows the creation of monolithic structures with minimal porosity and high accuracy of reproducing small elements.
Considering the physicochemical characteristics of aluminum alloys, an inert argon-based environment is essential for stable equipment operation. Strict control of gas content during powder production eliminates internal gas saturation of the alloy, guaranteeing the uniformity of the microstructure of the finished product.
Applications
- Aerospace industry. Industrial printing of lightweight brackets, satellite parts, and onboard instrument housing elements.
- Automotive manufacturing. Manufacturing of experimental and serial cylinder blocks, intake manifolds, and cooling system units.
- Electronics. Creating reliable housings with integrated heat dissipation systems for powerful equipment.
- Sports and medicine. Production of lightweight anatomical prostheses and high-load components of professional sports equipment.
