This documentation defines handling and storage constraints for the ATOMFAIR CUSN10 copper-tin alloy powder. The material must be protected from ambient exposure until it is ready for thermal validation.
- Ambient Exposure Control: Keep containers tightly sealed or handle the powder exclusively within an anhydrous inert gas environment to prevent phase contamination or degradation before thermal validation.
- Containment Requirements: Store the powder in sealed argon-filled protective bottles or specialized vacuum containment drums.
- Thermal Validation Readiness: Ensure that the powder has not been exposed to ambient atmosphere before thermal validation.
This procedure defines controlled handling steps for the ATOMFAIR CUSN10 copper-tin alloy powder. The objective is to prevent ambient exposure and preserve powder integrity before thermal validation.
- Transfer under inert gas
Transfer the powder only inside an anhydrous inert gas environment when handling is required. - Maintain seal
Keep the container tightly sealed whenever the powder is not being handled. - Return to protective containment
Store the powder in sealed argon-filled protective bottles or specialized vacuum containment drums.
What tensile and yield strength can be expected from ATOMFAIR CUSN10 as-deposited parts?
As-deposited parts from ATOMFAIR CUSN10 exhibit a tensile strength of ≥520 MPa, yield strength of ≥400 MPa, elongation of ≥30%, and hardness of ≥170 HV, with a relative density of ≥99.5%. These parameters are specified at room temperature and reflect the powder's high-performance baseline for aerospace and mechanical components.
What are the key particle size distribution and flowability characteristics of ATOMFAIR CUSN10 for additive manufacturing?
The powder has a D10 of ≥15 μm, D50 in the range 30–40 μm, and D90 of ≤60 μm, with a sphericity of ≥0.90. It also features an apparent density of ≥4.2 g/cm³, tap density of ≥4.5 g/cm³, and flowability of ≤25 s/50g, ensuring consistent layer-to-layer deposition and microstructural uniformity during AM processes.
How should ATOMFAIR CUSN10 powder be stored and handled to prevent oxidation or contamination?
ATOMFAIR CUSN10 is highly sensitive to ambient exposure and must be kept in tightly sealed containers or handled exclusively within an anhydrous inert gas environment to prevent phase contamination or degradation. The product is supplied in argon-filled protective bottles or specialized vacuum containment drums to maintain its integrity until thermal validation.
Atomfair CUSN10 is a spherical CuSn10 bronze alloy powder (Cu balance, 9.0–11.5% Sn) designed for additive manufacturing of wear-resistant components operating under high load, sliding speed, and elevated temperatures. The powder exhibits high sphericity (≥0.90), controlled particle size distribution (D50 30–40 μm), and good flowability (≤25 s/50g), enabling dense (>99.5%) as-deposited parts with tensile strength ≥520 MPa and elongation ≥30%. However, strict inert atmosphere handling is required to prevent oxidative degradation.
Positive
- Uniform elemental distribution: Homogeneous material purity with highly uniform elemental distribution across the matrix ensures consistent mechanical properties and reliable layer-to-layer integrity in additive manufacturing.
- Optimized sintering behavior: Advanced synthesis enables lower required operating temperatures and ideal grain boundary integration during cell fabrication, improving process efficiency and final part microstructure.
Trade-offs
- Ambient exposure sensitivity: The powder is highly sensitive to ambient air; containers must be kept tightly sealed and handling should occur exclusively in an anhydrous inert gas environment to prevent phase contamination or degradation.
- Specialized packaging required: Product is supplied in sealed argon-filled protective bottles or specialized vacuum containment drums, requiring careful storage and handling procedures to maintain material integrity before use.
