FAQs

Q1: Is Micro Molybdenum Disilicide (MoSi₂) Powder toxic?

A1: Molybdenum Disilicide powder is not highly toxic, but as with all fine powders, inhaling dust should be avoided. Proper safety precautions, such as using dust masks, gloves, and other protective equipment, should be used when handling MoSi₂ powder. It is important to follow standard safety protocols to prevent respiratory exposure.

Q2: How should MoSi2 powder be stored?

A2: MoSi2 powder should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. It is recommended to store the powder in airtight containers to avoid exposure to humidity or air, which can lead to oxidation over time. Additionally, avoid direct sunlight or high temperatures.

Q3: Can Micro Molybdenum Disilicide (MoSi2) Powder be used in 3D printing?

A3: Yes, MoSi2 powder can be used in certain 3D printing processes, especially for high-temperature applications where thermal stability and material properties like oxidation resistance are critical. MoSi2-based powders are used in powder bed fusion 3D printing techniques such as Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Direct Energy Deposition (DED).
