Powder Characterization

Advanced Powder Flowability Testing for Additive Manufacturing

Reliable and predictable powder behavior is critical to the success of Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes. As this industry continues to grow and applications become more demanding, new testing methods are being developed to ensure your powder meets specifications and behaves the right way every time.  Additive manufacturing is quickly becoming the go-to process for complex,…

Powder Characterization 101: Metrics, Methods, and Market Applications

How can manufacturers trust that their powders will result in a quality, high-performing product? Powders can pose unique challenges to characterize, because unlike most materials where you’re dealing with one solid material, you need to describe millions – or even billions – of tiny individual particles that contribute to a collective property or behavior. No…

Material Testing Confidence: The Value of Third-Party Testing Labs

The materials behind today’s products matter as much – or more – than the design itself. Whether for standard components for heavy machinery or complex parts for mission-critical applications, material performance and integrity can mean the difference between meeting strict compliance standards and missing your important timeline goals. This is where objective materials testing from…
