Theintention of this guide is to provide purchasers, vendors, orproducers of metal powder to be used in additive manufactur-ing processes with a reference for existing standards orvariations of existing standards that may be used to character-ize

22、 properties of metal powders used for additive manufactur-ing processes. It will serve as a starting point for the futuredevelopment of a suite of specific standard test methods thatwill address each individual property or property type that isimportant to the performance of metal-based additive man

23、u-facturing systems and the components produced by them.While the focus of this standard is on metal powder, some ofthe referenced methods may also be appropriate for non-metalpowders.5.

24、rs transferred from blenders or storage tanks, as well asmetal powders already package in containers such as bags. Thetechniques in this standard are readily applicable to metalpowders used in additive manufacturing. MPIF Standard 01provides similar procedures.5.2 Size Determination:5.2.1 The proced

25、ures outlined in Test Method B214 givedetailed specifications for determining powder particle sizesthrough a sieving process. This process is applicable for sieveswith openings from 45 to 1000 m, and therefore not suitablefor powders with particles smaller than 45 m. MPIF Standard05 gives similar pr

26、ocedures, as does ISO 4497.5.2.2 Test Method B822 describes the use of light scatteringto measure the particle size distribution. This test methoddescribes the limitations of this technique, which may be usedas agreed upon by user and manufacturer to measure particlesize distribution for metal powde

27、rs for additive manufacturingsince the allowable particle diameters for this technique rangefrom 0.4 m to 2 mm.5.2.3 Non-standardized methods such as image analysismay also be applicable for measuring the size distribution of acollection of metal particles.5.3 Morphology Characterization:5.3.1 Termi

28、nology B243 establishes qualitative definitionsfor many powder shapes. However, no standards describe ameans of quantifying the morphology of metal powder par-ticles. Morphology can be determined via light scattering andimage analysis methods.5.4 Chemical Composition:5.4.1 Several standards describe

29、 the inert gas fusiontechnique, and they are highly specific.5.4.1.1 Test Method E1447 describes the procedure fordetermining the hydrogen content in solid specimens of tita-nium and titanium alloys by using the inert gas fusiontechnique combined with measuring the water created bypassing the hydrog

34、 Hall flowmeter funnel andthe Carney funnel, are described in Test Method B213 andB964, respectively. These procedures are readily applicable formetal powders used for additive manufacturing. Methods forusing the Hall flowmeter are also described in MPIF Standard03.5.5.2 The process of timing powder

35、 as it flows through aHall flowmeter, which would determine the powders flow byvolume instead of the flow by mass, is described in TestMethod B855. This standard is readily applicable for metalpowders used for additive manufacturing. MPIF Standard 03provides similar procedures.5.5.3 Note that powder

36、 samples with a significant fractionof small particles or irregularly shaped particles may haveinconsistent or greatly reduced flow rates, or both. The meth-ods listed in 5.5.1 and 5.5.2 may not be suitable for thesepowders.5.6 Density:5.6.1 Methods for determining the apparent density of metalpowde

37、r through the use of a Hall flowmeter funnel, a Carneyfunnel, a Scott volumeter, and and Arnold meter are describedin Test Methods B212, B417, B329, and B703, respectively.Each of these standards is readily applicable to metal powdersfor additive manufacturing. The specification of Test MethodB417 f

38、or the measurement of “non-free-flowing powders” doesnot mean that the powders will not flow at all. It is to be usedfor powders that will not freely flow through the circular orificeof the Hall flowmeter, wich is 2.54 mm in diameter. TheCarney funnel used in this standard has an opening that is twi

39、cethe diameter of the Hall flowmeters opening, at 5.08 mm. Theflowability of metal powder is likely to differ with differentalloys and powder manufacturing techniques. Powder densitymeasurement using a Hall Apparatus is also described in MPIFStandard 04. Powder density measurement using a CarneyAppa

40、ratus is also described in MPIF Standard 28. Apparentdensity of metal powders using an Arnold Meter is alsodescribed in MPIF Standard 48. The ISO standards for deter-mining the apparent density of metallic powders are ISO3923-1 and ISO 3923-2.5.6.2 Test Method B527 describes the method of determin-i

41、ng the tap density of metallic powders and compounds. Thisstandard is readily applicable for metal powders for additivemanufacturing. MPIF Standard 46 describes methods formeasuring the tap density of metal powders.5.6.3 The method of obtaining the skeletal density of metalpowders by helium or nitro

42、gen pycnometry is described in TestMethod B923. This standard is readily applicable for metalpowders for additive manufacturing.5.6.3.1 DiscussionContamination of the original metalpowder may occur at any stage of processing and handling,starting from metal powder production. The contaminants maybe

43、organic (such as oil, grease, lubricants, hair, plastics andglue) or metallic (such as wear debris or other powders) orinorganic compounds. Various standard methods used in theproduction and quality assurance of powders, such as scalpingwith sieves to remove oversize contaminant, visual inspection,a

44、nd analytical methods to detect foreign materials, can be usedto ensure that the final powder product is free of contamination.6.
