3D Printing Metal Powder for Industrial Additive Manufacturing

JINGYE is a 3D printing metal powder manufacturer supplying spherical, controlled-particle-size powders for metal additive manufacturing. Our product portfolio includes stainless steel, mold steel, Invar alloy, nickel-based high-temperature alloy, titanium alloy and copper alloy powders.

Designed for stable powder spreading and repeatable melting, JINGYE metal powder for 3D printing is available in standard and customized particle size distributions. Powder chemistry, morphology, flowability, apparent density, tap density and interstitial elements can be inspected according to the alloy and application requirements.

With an annual metal powder production capacity of 10,000 metric tons, in-house testing facilities and metal additive manufacturing equipment, JINGYE supports customers from powder selection and sample qualification through batch supply and application validation.

Metal Powder for 3D Printing by Alloy Family

JINGYE offers additive manufacturing metal powder for tooling, aerospace, energy, medical, electronics, precision instrument and industrial component applications. The following grades represent our core metal 3D printer powder portfolio.

Powder Characteristics That Support Consistent Metal 3D Printing

Alloy powder for 3D printing has characteristics like low oxygen content, high degree of sphericity, reasonable grain fineness distribution and good fluidity. Injection molding powder has the characteristics of nearly spherical shape, high compaction, high fluidity, low carbon and low oxygen, etc.

Controlled Particle Size Distribution

Powder is classified and screened to achieve a defined particle size range. Standard ranges are available for common applications, while customized distributions can be supplied for specific SLM or LPBF equipment and process parameters.

High Sphericity and Good Flowability

Spherical particle morphology supports uniform recoating and stable powder delivery. JINGYE evaluates powder morphology, particle size, flowability, apparent density and tap density as part of product qualification.

Controlled Chemistry and Interstitial Elements

Alloy composition and elements such as oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen are monitored using dedicated analytical equipment. This is especially important for titanium and high-temperature alloy powders, where interstitial elements can affect processing and final material properties.

Batch Traceability

Production and inspection records support traceability from raw material and atomization through classification, testing and packaging. Certificates of analysis can be provided according to the agreed product specification.

Metal Powder Manufacturing and Quality Control

JINGYE combines metal powder manufacturing, powder classification, laboratory testing and additive manufacturing validation within one production system. Atomization and powder-processing routes are selected according to the alloy chemistry, target particle size and application.

1. Raw material and composition control: Raw materials are selected and prepared according to the required alloy specification.

2. Controlled melting and atomization: Gas atomization and dedicated titanium alloy powder preparation are used where appropriate to produce spherical metal particles.

3. Classification and screening: Powder is separated into the required particle size range and screened to control oversize particles and foreign matter.

4. Laboratory inspection: Chemistry, particle size distribution, morphology, oxygen and nitrogen, flowability, apparent density and tap density can be evaluated.

5. Packaging and identification: Qualified powder is packaged and labeled by grade, specification and batch to support storage and production traceability.
