Powders for Additive Manufacturing:
Printdur® HSA
Austenitic stainless steel, with high strength, for Additive Manufacturing
Introduction to Printdur® Powders
The additive manufacturing powders supplied by Deutsche Edelstahlwerke, of which we are the official Italian partner, are essential for producing components and mold inserts using technologies such as Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) and Direct Metal Deposition (DMD). These materials, selected for their specific particle size distribution, are optimized for a wide range of 3D printing applications.
Versatile Applications of Printdur® HSA
Printdur® HSA, a newly developed austenitic stainless steel, is characterized by the absence of nickel in its alloy, significantly reducing safety concerns during powder handling. It offers substantial improvements in yield strength, tensile strength, and hardness compared to typical austenitic steels, making it ideal for critical engineering applications in industries such as food processing, chemical, power generation, and automotive..
Advantages in Mechanical Engineering
Printdur® HSA exhibits superior resistance to corrosion and cavitation, making it suitable for harsh operating environments. The ability to undergo subsequent heat treatments further enhances its toughness, expanding its potential applications.
Technical Characteristics of Printdur® HSA Powder
Printdur® HSA powder is produced through gas atomization, ensuring spherical particles with excellent flow characteristics. This process guarantees optimal quality for additive manufacturing.
Processability and Mechanical Properties
