Discontinued DP1309 Spherical Nickel (Ni) Powder

Spherical Nickel Powder Description

Nickel powder is a black or grey powder possessing a large surface area. Spherical nickel powder exhibits a purity of 99.5%, high sphericity, a smooth surface and a uniform particle size distribution.

Spherical Nickel Powder consists of finely distributed nickel processed into spherical particles. It is typically produced by methods such as gas atomisation, chemical vapour deposition and electroplating.

Spherical Nickel Powder possesses several quantifiable properties that render it useful in various applications. It has a large surface area, which enables a defined reactivity and facilitates reliable bonding. The spherical shape contributes to adequate flowability, thereby making it appropriate for additive manufacturing processes such as 3D printing.

About 3D Printing - From Wikipedia
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), refers to a range of processes for producing a three-dimensional object. In 3D printing, consecutive layers of material are formed under computer control. The objects produced can adopt nearly any form or geometry, based on a 3D model or another electronic data source. A 3D printer is a type of industrial robot.
