MATERIALS and applications
Stainless Steel
Additive manufacturing extensively utilizes steel, a robust and long-lasting metal ideal for creating durable components. Known for its exceptional wear resistance, steel is perfect for metal parts that endure severe conditions and frequent usage. With a wide variety of steel alloys and grades, additive manufacturing can tailor solutions to meet specific application demands, making it a versatile material choice for a range of industries.
Refractory Alloys
Refractory metals are known for their high melting points, making them perfect for high-temperature applications in industries like aerospace and automotive. These metals are crucial for metal components exposed to extreme conditions, such as combustion chambers, nozzles, and re-entry vehicles, where they must maintain strength and integrity. Leveraging metal 3D printers or additive manufacturing, these metals can be precisely crafted to meet the demands of challenging environments.
Ferromagnetic materials
The Fe-Co-V alloy combines iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), and vanadium (V) to offer exceptional mechanical and magnetic properties, making it ideal for high-performance applications. With a composition of 49% Fe, 49% Co, and 2% V, this alloy is widely used in the aerospace industry for components like generators, electrical transformers, and other critical systems requiring superior strength and magnetism. Metal 3D printing technologies can be employed to manufacture precision parts from Fe-Co-V alloys for demanding industrial applications.
Titanium
Ti64, a titanium alloy, is highly valued for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Widely used in aerospace and medical implants, Ti64 is ideal for producing precise parts with smooth surface finishes. This alloy is perfect for applications where high performance and durability are critical, making it a popular choice for metal 3D printing in industries requiring precision and reliability.
Inconel
Inconel 625 and 718 are nickel-based super alloys with exceptional mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, making them popular in aerospace, oil and gas, chemical processing, and medical industries.
Cobalt Chrome
CoCr, or Cobalt Chrome, is a highly versatile alloy with exceptional strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. It is a preferred choice in various industries, including medical and dental devices, aerospace, and industrial applications.
Aluminum
Additive manufacturing applications benefit from aluminum’s lightweight nature, as well as its robust strength and corrosion resistance. The material’s malleability allows for the creation of intricate shapes with ease, while its superior thermal conductivity ensures rapid and uniform heating of components. Overall, aluminum is an excellent option for additive manufacturing purposes.
Tungsten
Tungsten composites are used in industries ranging from aerospace, automotive, nuclear, defense, medical to leisure.
Examples of applications are: rocket engine nozzles, weapon heads (to penetrate hard surfaces), turbine blades for aircraft (heat-resistant), and smaller tools such as saw blades, drill bits, bearings, pistons, and welding equipment. The medical industry uses pure tungsten for MRI scanning, collimators and radiation shielding.
Nickel–titanium based alloy
Advanced 3D printing techniques, such as selective laser melting (SLM), enable the production of complex, patient-specific implants using Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs). Materials like NiTi osteosynthesis alloys are ideal for creating high-performance implants used in minimally invasive surgeries, particularly in oral and maxillofacial surgery. With the precision of SLM 3D printing, these implants can be custom-designed to meet the unique needs of each patient, offering optimal outcomes in surgical procedures.
Magnesium
Magnesium alloys are a promising new class of degradable biomaterials that have a similar stiffness to bone, which minimizes the harmful effects of stress shielding. Use of biodegradable magnesium implants eliminates the need for a second surgery for repair or removal.
