The Influence of Process Gas on Additively Manufactured AlSi10Mg
How residual oxygen influences the processing of AlSi10Mg and its material quality
Free Whitepaper
In metal laser powder bed fusion with DMLS® technology, inert gases are used to shield the
melt pool and avoid impurities and adverse
reactions within ambient atmospheres. This also makes the process safer and delivers greater reproducibility and part quality
Download the whitepaper "The Influence of Process Gas on Additively Manufactured AlSi10Mg" and get insights how residual oxygen influences metal 3D-printing.
EOS and Linde combined their expertise to jointly undertake research in the field of additive manufacturing of this study was to investigate the influence of the oxygen concentration on the properties of AISi10Mg. The influence of impurities in the
process gas on the quality of the additively manufactured material was analyzed, as well as the influence on the process itself.
This whitepaper provides insight into:
- Processing of AlSi10Mg
- Atmospheric monitoring and optimization with
Linde’s ADDvance® O2 precision - Use of EOSTATE Exposure OT with argon-helium process gas
