IMT AlSi10Mg aluminum spherical powder 15–53 µm, 5 kg

IMT AlSi10Mg 15–53 µm: Aluminum Spherical Powder for Lightweight and Strong Structures

IMT AlSi10Mg is an aluminum-based metal powder, optimized for 3D printing using SLM/LPBF technology. This alloy combines low specific weight, high thermal conductivity, and excellent mechanical properties. Due to its high silicon (Si) content, the material has good flowability in the molten state, ensuring the production of parts with complex geometries and thin walls without defects.

Powder fraction 15–53 µm and spherical particle shape (sphericity ≥ 90%) guarantee stable flowability (Hall flow ≤ 18 s/50g) and high layer packing density during printing.

Packaging: airtight container 5 kg.

Material Technical Profile

Chemical Composition

The alloy composition meets the standards for casting aluminum alloys adapted for additive manufacturing:

• Aluminum (Al): base (Balance).
• Silicon (Si): 10.00% — increases hardness and improves casting properties.
• Magnesium (Mg): 0.35% — provides additional strengthening of the alloy.
• Iron (Fe): ≤ 0.2%.
• Oxygen (O): ≤ 0.05%.
• Impurities (Mn, Ni, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ti): strictly controlled to ensure alloy purity.

Physical and Mechanical Properties

Indicators of stability and strength of finished products:

• Tensile strength: 310–330 MPa.
• Yield strength: 210–220 MPa.
• Elongation: ≥ 11%.
• Apparent density: ≥ 1.40 g/cm³.
• Gas content: Oxygen (O) ≤ 500 ppm, Nitrogen (N) ≤ 100 ppm.

Advantages of Using AlSi10Mg in Additive Manufacturing

The material is one of the most in-demand in the aluminum segment of 3D printing:

• High specific strength: ideal strength-to-weight ratio for aerospace and transportation sector parts.
• Thermal conductivity: effective heat dissipation makes the material suitable for manufacturing radiators and heat exchangers.
• Corrosion resistance: resistance to oxidation under normal operating conditions.
• Technological adaptability: parts are easily machinable (milling, grinding) and weldable.

Applications and Examples of Parts

The IMT AlSi10Mg powder is widely used in industries where reducing the weight of structures is critical:

• Aerospace industry: brackets, satellite parts, instrument housing elements.
• Automotive industry: cylinder blocks, intake manifolds, complex cooling system assemblies.
• Electronics: housings with integrated cooling systems (heat sinks).
