Particle Characterization of Metal Powders

In this article, we present several examples of how the size and shape of typical metal powders and metal alloys can be characterized by Dynamic Image Analysis (DIA) and Laser Diffraction (LD) technologies, using the Microtrac MRB CAMSIZER X2 and SYNC analyzers. We also take a closer look at the characterization of metal powder and its AM products with regard to density, surface and porosity.
