DEFINITION OF THE POWDER CHARGES
We advise users for the definition of their powder specifications and the means of characterization for the control of the quality of the powder before fabrication of the part: X-ray diffractometer, laser granulometer, pycnometer, scanning electron microscope, hall flowmeter. These powders can be validated with partner users.
SELECTING THE POWDER MOST SUITABLE FOR YOUR NEEDS
