Particle size, shape, roughness, and porosity affect the surface area of particles in metal powders. Even spherical gas atomized metal powders exhibit surface areas much higher than suggested by their size. We discuss this topic in our article in Powder Metallurgy Review Magazine. Plus, we also explain why the knowledge and use of powder surface area is a critical parameter in the metal Additive Manufacturing process.
