EOS, a German-based industrial leader in 3D printing metals and polymers, which distributes all over the world including North, South, and Central America, has introduced four new metal powders for use with its additive manufacturing systems.
The four new powders, EOS StainlessSteel CX; EOS Aluminium AlF357; EOS Titanium Ti64 Grade 5; and EOS Titanium Ti64 Grade 23, have been tailored to suite a wide range of applications, including automotive and medical.
EOS StainlessSteel CX, aims to combine excellent corrosion resistance with high strength and hardness. Components made from this material are reportedly easy to machine and enable a polished finish.
EOS Aluminum AlF357 is suitable for applications requiring a light metal with excellent mechanical/thermal strength. Components made from this material are characterized by their light weight, corrosion resistance, and high-dynamic loading.
EOS Titanium Ti64 Grade 5 has been developed for its high-fatigue strength without hot isostatic pressing (HIP). This material offers corrosion resistance, making it ideal for aerospace and automotive applications.
EOS Titanium Ti64 Grade 23 has also been developed for high-fatigue strength without HIP. Grade 23 offers improved elongation and fracture toughness. Thanks to these properties, it is particularly well suited to medical applications.
