ZR5400 (Discontinued) Spherical Zr-based Powder ZrCuAlNb

Spherical Zr-based Powder ZrCuAlNb Description

Spherical Zr-based Powder ZrCuAlNb is extensively used in additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, particularly in processes like 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 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. Zr-based powder can also be used to produce wear-resistant coatings for various industrial applications, enhancing the lifespan and performance of tools and machinery.
