ZR5397 Spherical Zr-based Powder ZrNiCuTaAl

Spherical Zirconium-based Powder ZrNiCuTaAl Description

Spherical Zirconium-based Powder ZrNiCuTaAl is a Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG) alloy that is suitable for additive manufacturing methods such as Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). These amorphous metals lack a crystalline structure, providing them with exceptional properties, including high strength, hardness, and wear resistance. These attributes make them highly sought after for technical applications. In the LPBF process, a laser selectively melts a thin layer of metal powder, building objects layer by layer. The rapid cooling in the LPBF process is critical for preserving the amorphous structure of BMG, thereby enhancing their mechanical performance.

The composition of ZrNiCuTaAl offers excellent glass-forming ability along with a combination of properties such as corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and thermal stability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. To achieve successful LPBF outcomes, various parameters, such as laser power and scanning speed, need to be meticulously controlled to produce high-quality results. The spherical morphology of the zirconium-based powder specifically enhances its applicability in additive manufacturing by improving flowability and packing density, leading to higher-quality prints and more efficient production processes.
