Identifying particulate contaminants in metal powders using XRF: Stainless Steel contamination in Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V

Contamination of metal powders used for additive manufacturing provide a real risk to product quality and safety, since the presence of contaminant particles with different melting characteristics or mechanical properties than the bulk powder can lead to localized stress points in the printed part. This could lead to premature or catastrophic failure and is especially important in risk averse ...

Optimizing your optical properties for colored materials

IntroductionMeasuring the size of nanoparticles using laser diffraction can be a challenging endeavor, particularly selecting the optical properties. This is doubly true when analyzing colored nanoparticles such as ink pigments. Laser diffraction uses optical models to interpret scattering data to produce the final particle size distribution (PSD). In the Mastersizer 3000 software, two optical ...
