Roestvrij staal poeder samenstellingen
Tabel 1 toont de samenstelling van roestvaststalen poederlegeringen op basis van primaire elementaire toevoegingen, met enige variatie tussen poederfabrikanten:
| Legering | Belangrijkste legeringselementen |
|---|---|
| 304L | Cr, Ni |
| 316L | Cr, Ni, Mo |
| 17-16 uur | Cr, Ni, Cu |
Koolstof is beperkt (≤0,03%) in 304L en 316L om carbideprecipitatie te voorkomen en de corrosiebestendigheid en lasbaarheid te behouden.
Hogere koolstof in 17-4PH verhoogt de sterkte door martensitische hardingswarmtebehandelingen.

Poeder morfologie, stroomsnelheid en dichtheid
| Eigendom | Beschrijving | Importance in Powder Processing |
|---|---|---|
| Poeder morfologie | The size, shape, and surface characteristics of individual powder particles. | Morphology significantly impacts packing density, flowability, and laser absorptivity in Additive Manufacturing (AM). Ideally, spherical particles with smooth surfaces offer the best packing density and flow characteristics. However, atomization processes can introduce variations. Gas-atomized powders tend to be more spherical, while water-atomized powders exhibit a more irregular, splattered morphology. Additionally, surface features like satellites (small particles attached to larger ones) and satellites can hinder flow and affect laser melting behavior in AM. |
| Deeltjesgrootteverdeling (PSD) | A statistical representation of the variation in particle sizes within a powder batch. It is typically expressed as a cumulative distribution curve or by reporting specific percentiles (e.g., d10 – 10% of particles are smaller than this size, d50 – median particle size). | PSD plays a crucial role in powder bed packing and influences the final density and mechanical properties of AM parts. A narrow PSD with a well-defined median size (d50) is preferred for consistent packing and laser melting depth. Conversely, a broad distribution can lead to segregation (larger particles separating from finer ones) during handling and uneven melting in the AM process. |
| Schijnbare dichtheid & kraandichtheid | * Apparent density: The mass of powder per unit volume when poured freely into a container. * Tap density: The density achieved after a standardized tapping or vibration protocol. | These properties reflect the packing behavior of the powder and are crucial for efficient powder handling and storage. Apparent density represents the loose packing state, while tap density indicates a denser packing achieved through mechanical agitation. The difference between these values, known as the Carr angle, is an indirect measure of flowability. Powders with a lower Carr angle (higher tap density closer to apparent density) exhibit better flow characteristics. |
| Stroomsnelheid | The rate at which powder flows under gravity through an orifice or hopper. | Flow rate is critical for consistent material feed in various powder processing techniques like AM and metal injection molding (MIM). Good flowability ensures smooth powder layer formation and avoids disruptions during the build process. Irregular particle shapes, presence of satellites, and moisture content can hinder flow rate. Manufacturers often employ flowability additives like lubricants to improve powder flow. |
| Poederdichtheid | The mass of powder per unit volume of the solid particles themselves, excluding voids between particles. | Powder density is a material property inherent to the specific stainless steel composition. It influences the final density achievable in the finished product after sintering or melting. Higher powder density typically translates to higher final product density and improved mechanical properties. |
Roestvrij staal poeder prijzen
| Factor | Beschrijving | Impact op de prijs |
|---|---|---|
| Cijfer | The specific type of stainless steel, designated by a three-digit number (e.g., 304, 316L, 17-4PH). Different grades offer varying degrees of corrosion resistance, strength, and formability. | Higher-grade stainless steel powders, like 316L with molybdenum for enhanced corrosion resistance, typically command a premium price compared to basic grades like 304. |
| Deeltjesgrootte en -verdeling | The size and uniformity of the powder particles. Measured in microns (μm) or mesh size (number of openings per linear inch in a sieve), particle size significantly influences the final product’s properties and manufacturing process. | Finer powders (smaller microns/higher mesh size) generally cost more due to the additional processing required to achieve a narrower particle size distribution. However, finer powders can enable intricate details and smoother surface finishes in 3D printed parts. |
| Oppervlakte | Closely linked to particle size, the total surface area of the powder particles per unit weight. Powders with higher surface areas tend to be more reactive and require stricter handling protocols. | Powders with high surface areas may incur additional costs due to specialized handling and storage requirements to prevent contamination or moisture absorption. |
| Productieproces | The method used to produce the stainless steel powder. Common techniques include atomization (gas or water) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). | Atomization processes are generally more established and cost-effective, while CVD yields finer and purer powders but at a higher price point. |
| Puurheid | The chemical composition of the powder, with minimal presence of unwanted elements. | Higher purity powders, with lower levels of oxygen, nitrogen, and other impurities, often come at a higher cost due to stricter manufacturing controls. |
| Spherical Morphology | The shape of the powder particles. Spherical particles offer superior flow characteristics and packing density, leading to improved printability and material utilization. | Spherical stainless steel powders are generally more expensive compared to irregular-shaped particles due to the additional processing steps involved. |
| Hoeveelheid | The amount of stainless steel powder purchased. | Bulk purchases typically benefit from significant price reductions due to economies of scale offered by suppliers. |
| Marktschommelingen | The global supply and demand dynamics for raw materials like chromium and nickel, which significantly impact the base price of stainless steel feedstock. | Periods of high demand or supply chain disruptions can cause price increases for stainless steel powders. |
| Leverancier | The reputation and expertise of the powder manufacturer. Established brands with rigorous quality control procedures may command a slightly higher price compared to lesser-known suppliers. | Reputable suppliers often provide additional services like technical support and material certifications, which can justify a slight price premium. |
Corrosieweerstand van roestvrij staalpoeder
| Eigendom | Beschrijving | Impact on Corrosion Resistance |
|---|---|---|
| Chroomgehalte | The key element in stainless steel’s corrosion resistance. It forms a thin, invisible layer of chromium oxide on the surface when exposed to oxygen, acting as a barrier against further oxidation (rust). | Higher chromium content (typically above 10.5%) translates to better corrosion resistance. Different grades of stainless steel powder have varying chromium levels, catering to specific environments. |
| Molybdeen | Often added to improve resistance to pitting corrosion, a localized form of attack that creates deep holes in the metal. Molybdenum enhances the stability of the chromium oxide layer, particularly in environments containing chlorides (e.g., seawater). | Stainless steel powders with molybdenum are ideal for marine applications, chemical processing involving chlorides, and high-salinity environments. |
| Nikkel | Contributes to overall corrosion resistance, particularly in high-temperature settings. Nickel helps maintain the stability of the passive oxide layer and improves resistance to reducing acids. | Nickel-containing stainless steel powders are well-suited for applications involving hot acidic environments or high-pressure steam. |
| Powder Manufacturing Method | The process used to create the powder can influence its microstructure and, consequently, corrosion resistance. Gas atomization, a common method, can trap oxygen within the particles, potentially leading to localized corrosion. | Choosing powders produced with methods minimizing internal oxidation, like water atomization, can enhance corrosion performance. |
| Porositeit | Sintering, the process of bonding powder particles, can leave behind tiny pores within the final product. These pores can act as initiation sites for corrosion if they trap contaminants or moisture. | Selecting powders with optimized particle size distribution and proper sintering parameters minimizes porosity, leading to improved corrosion resistance. |
| Oppervlakteafwerking | The surface topography of the finished component can influence how readily it interacts with the environment. Rougher surfaces offer more area for contaminants and moisture to adhere, increasing the risk of corrosion. | Smoother surface finishes, achievable through polishing or specific manufacturing techniques, enhance corrosion resistance by minimizing these potential sites. |
| Korrelgrootte | The size of individual metal grains within the sintered component can affect corrosion behavior. Finer grain sizes generally offer better corrosion resistance as they present a less permeable barrier to corrosive agents. | Selecting powders optimized for achieving fine grain structures during sintering can enhance the component’s ability to resist corrosion. |
