Application of 3D Printing Alloy Metal Materials Stainless Steel 17-4PH Metal Powder：

Aerospace field

In the aerospace field, 17-4PH metal powder has a wide range of application prospects. Because of its excellent high-temperature stability, it can be used to manufacture high-temperature components and structures in aerospace spacecraft, such as jet engines, turbines, and aircraft fuselages. These components need to operate in high temperatures and harsh environments for long periods and, therefore, need to have excellent mechanical properties and high-temperature stability. The excellent properties of 17-4PH metal powders make them an ideal material for the manufacture of these components. For example, the turbine blades and guide blades of aircraft engines need to withstand high temperatures and strong aerodynamic loads, and the use of 17-4PH metal powder can significantly improve the fatigue resistance and high-temperature resistance of these components. In addition, the 17-4PH metal powder can also be used to manufacture a variety of high-precision parts and components in aerospace spacecraft, such as engine controllers, fuel pumps, and seals.

Automobile manufacturing field

In the field of automobile manufacturing, 17-4PH metallic powder offers a variety of applications. Due to its outstanding mechanical properties, it can be used to manufacture high-strength parts and wear-resistant parts in automotive engines and transmission systems, such as gears, bearings, and pistons. These components need to operate for long periods under high temperature, high pressure, and harsh friction conditions, so they need to have excellent wear resistance, fatigue resistance, and high-temperature resistance. The excellent properties of 17-4PH metal powders make them an ideal material for the manufacture of these components. For example, manufacturing automotive gears requires high hardness and good wear resistance, as well as excellent fatigue resistance and high-temperature resistance. By using 17-4PH metal powder, the life and reliability of the gear can be improved, and the number of repairs can be reduced. In addition, the metal powder 17-4PH can be used in the manufacture of structural components like frames and car bodies to enhance their durability, stiffness, and fatigue resistance.

Production Method of 3D Printing Alloy Metal Materials Stainless Steel 17-4PH Metal Powder：

Atomization method

The atomization method is one of the common methods for preparing 17-4PH metal powder. The method is to spray molten metal raw materials through a nozzle and refine the metal into a powder under the impact of high-speed airflow. The atomization method includes two types: water atomization and gas atomization. The water atomization method is to spray molten metal raw materials through a nozzle into a high-speed rotating water flow, in the water to fine into powder. The gas atomization method is to spray the molten metal raw material through the nozzle into the high-speed airflow, which is refined into a powder in the air. The 17-4PH metal powder prepared by the atomization method has the advantages of good sphericity, narrow particle size distribution, smooth surface, high purity, uniform chemical composition, and so on, which is suitable for large-scale production.

Mechanical alloying method

Mechanical alloying is a common method for preparing 17-4PH metal powders. The method is to put the raw metal materials into the ball mill or vibration mill. The metal is refined into powder through the strong impact and friction of the ball mill or vibration mill, as well as the composition of chemicals and dimensions of the dust is controlled by controlling the duration as well as the temperature in the ball mill, the vibration mill, and other elements. The 17-4PH powder of metal made by mechanical alloying process has the advantages of small particles with a small size, good sphericity, small lattice distortion, and uniform composition, which is suitable for the preparation of high alloy and high-performance metal powder.

Reduction method

The reduction method is a method for preparing 17-4PH metal powder. The method is to react a compound containing 17-4PH metal elements with a reducing agent to reduce the metal elements into a metal powder. The 17-4PH powder of metal prepared through the reduction technique has the benefits of high purity, consistent particle sizes, large bulk density, etc. It is suitable for the preparation of high-density and high-hardness metal powder.

Electrochemical method

The electrochemical method is a method for preparing 17-4PH metal powder. The method is carried out in an electrolytic cell, where the electrolyte containing 17-4PH metal elements is dissolved in water, and a direct current is passed into the water to reduce the metal elements into metal powder through electrolysis. Metal powder 17-4PH made by electrochemical method offers the benefits of a uniform size particle, good sphericity, high loose density, etc. It is suitable for the preparation of high-strength and high-hardness metal powder.
