(Metal 3D Printing Materials are Gradually Enriched, Which will Help the Development of the Industrial Field in the Future)

In the 3D metal printing concept of the 1990s, there were very few types of
machinable materials. Since then, various technologies (laser technology, powder
metallurgy technology, etc.) have realized the 3D printing technology of various
metals, and each technological breakthrough brings new applications. The
earliest application of 3D printing is rapid prototyping: the aerospace and
aerospace industries have been using it for many years, and industrial
production applications in other industries are also developing rapidly

High-performance devices such as aerospace, defense, and energy are used
because of their high manufacturing costs. In recent years, great development
has been achieved in the application fields of titanium, chromium, iron,
aluminum, and steel.

Titanium alloy

Titanium alloys have high specific strength, hardness and corrosion
resistance and are very popular in the aviation, biomedical and chemical
industries. As shown above, these alloys have higher tensile strength compared
to other high performance materials, such as Nitinol, TC4 alloy, etc. High
reactivity is a difficulty in the preparation of titanium alloys. To avoid it
reacting with oxygen or nitrogen, the process must be carried out in a vacuum or
in argon.

Aluminum alloy

Aluminum has the characteristics of light weight, corrosion resistance and
excellent mechanical properties, and has been widely used in aviation,
automobile and other fields. Such as AlSi12, AlSi7Mg, AlSi10Mg and so on. The
applications of aluminum alloy AMs are still very limited, as they are more
suitable for traditional low-cost manufacturing techniques, and AM has little
cost advantage.

In terms of 3D printing, aluminum and aluminum alloys also face some
challenges, such as laser reflection of aluminum itself, oxidation of aluminum
surface, etc. Right now, 3D printed aluminum is mostly a small batch of parts.
Engineers are working to improve technology and reduce costs, and are also
interested in aluminum alloy materials such as aluminum-silicon alloys or
iron-aluminum alloys. Aluminum is expected to be an important material for 3D
printing recently, because with aluminum, metal printing can improve material
properties and keep weight low.
