ZR5398 Spherical Zr-based Powder ZrCuNiAlTi

Spherical Zr-based Powder ZrCuNiAlTi Description

Spherical Zr-based Powder ZrCuNiAlTi is a Bulk Metallic Glass (BMG) alloy, perfectly suited for additive manufacturing processes such as Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). These amorphous metals lack a crystalline structure, which bestows them with remarkable qualities, including superior strength, hardness, and wear resistance. Such attributes make them highly desirable for engineering applications. In the LPBF process, a laser selectively melts a thin layer of metallic powder, building objects layer by layer. The rapid cooling inherent in LPBF is essential for preserving the amorphous structure of BMGs, thereby enhancing their mechanical performance.

The composition of ZrCuNiAlTi provides outstanding 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. Achieving success with LPBF requires meticulous control over various parameters, including laser power and scanning speed, to ensure high-quality results. The spherical morphology of the Zr-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.
