Characterization of Commercial Co-Cr-Alloy Powder Used in Selective Laser Sintering

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the microstructural characterization of particle systems used in equipment for selective laser sintering. Three distinct commercial metal powders, with chemical composition based on Co-Cr-alloy, were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and particle size distribution. The powders showed regular spherical particles with varying sizes and crystalline phase of Co-solid solution. Different powders present particle size among 55nm and 245 nm. This behavior affects the sinterability of samples submitted to the selective laser sintering.
