FastForm AlSi10Mg: Lightweight and Strong Aluminum Alloy for SLM

FastForm AlSi10Mg 15–53 µm (Aluminum-10% Silicon-0.5% Magnesium) aluminum powder, is one of the most popular materials for 3D printing using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology. Available in 5 kg packaging. This aluminum alloy combines lightness, high strength, excellent thermal conductivity, and good casting properties. FastForm AlSi10Mg is ideal for manufacturing components where low weight and complex geometric shapes are critical, finding applications in the automotive, aerospace, robotics, and thermal engineering industries.

Compatibility with Printers

This aluminum alloy powder is compatible for 3D printing on FastForm SLM 3D printers: FF-M140C, FF-M220, FF-M300S, FF-M420.

For DeskFab X1 — long-term use is not recommended.

Optimal Material Properties

The AlSi10Mg alloy, with its nominal chemical composition (about 10% silicon and 0.5% magnesium), provides parts printed using the SLM method with high strength and hardness after heat treatment. The addition of silicon improves the flowability of the material in the molten state, which contributes to the high-quality formation of complex shapes, and magnesium increases strength.

The powder fraction size of 15–53 micrometers is optimal for SLM processes, ensuring excellent flowability and uniform melting. This contributes to high printing precision, minimal porosity, and high surface quality of finished products.
