Additive manufacturing

In the present study, the electrostatic charging of a metal powder during conveying through the different parts of a Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) machine has been investigated with the GranuCharge...

Each layer is then partially sintered or melted with an energy beam to build the parts. The layer thickness defines the vertical resolution of the printer; a thin layer leads to a better resolution...

Many industries are already using GranuTools instruments range in different fields: additive manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, bulk material handling. The present application note is mainly focused on additive manufacturing.

In Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes, a three-dimensional object is created one superfine layer at a time. Therefore, the term Additive Manufacturing implies adding material to create the object...

The bulk density, the tapped density and the Hausner ratio measurement (commonly named “tap-tap test”) is very popular for powder characterization because of both the simplicity and the rapidity of the measurement...

Granular materials and fine powders are widely used in industrial applications.
To control and to optimize processing methods, these materials have to be precisely characterized.

Four metal powders have been selected: granules obtained with a granulation process, small spherical polydisperse beads, a fine powder forming spontaneously agglomerates and a second fine powder.

The high sensitivity of GranuPack instrument is exploited to measure the influence of oxidation on Aluminum powder behavior...

Introduction A set of five Aluminum powders coming from different producers has been analyzed with the GranuDrum and GranuPack instruments. According to the information shared by the producers, the grain shape and size are roughly identical from one sample to the other. The different samples are ...
