Particle Size Reduction and Particle Size Separation
in Additive Manufacturing Applications

Handling of sprues, nonconforming products and powders for additive manufacturing. Examples for use of crushers, mills and sieve shakers. Removal of oversized particles and quality control of various powders for subsequent processes.

Characterization of Metal Powders in Additive Manufacturing:
Size and Shape, Density, Surface Area, and Porosity

In this presentation we outline briefly which ISO standards are applicable for the characterization of metal powders for AM, and explain the related methods and instruments. Application examples demonstrate how the instruments are applied for QC and research by our customers.

Elemental Analysis for Quality Control in Additive Manufacturing

The analysis of carbon, sulfur as well as of oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen is required for a wide range of materials, because these elements influence physical properties like hardness, ductility and brittleness. Elemental analyzers from ELTRA are used worldwide for the analysis of metal powders and additively manufactured products.

Heat Treatment in Additive Manufacturing: Debinding and Sintering

Heat treatment in additive manufacturing is often underestimated. However, mainly for indirect methods, high quality debinding and sintering is the key for highest part quality. Carbolite Gero developed a complete product line to meet the challenging demands of all binder systems and its metallic or ceramic powders to perform the inevitable step of heat treatment after printing.

Metallographic Preparation as Part of the Quality Control Process
in Additive Manufacturing

The preparation of AM samples serves various purposes such as microstructure evaluation, pore measurement, phase analysis as well as layer evaluation. The intent of this webinar is not only to present the optimal metallographic preparation of AM samples, but also to illustrate some of the unique microstructures of these samples.
