Nickel alloys material characteristics make it ideal for a wide range of applications, for example in gas turbines for both aerospace and energy industries, process industry, oil and gas, ship building.
The nickel alloy family consists of IN625, IN718, IN939, HX and HAYNES® 282® alloys. All these powders are designed and tested for use on EOS’ metal systems.
All EOS nickel alloy powders are shipped with an inspection certificate (according to EN 10204, Type 3.1 or Type 2.2) showing the results of the extensive QA testing.
EOS also offers a wide range of validated processes for each of the above materials. These offer the optimal combination of parameters (e.g. laser power, layer thickness, etc.) in order to ensure that the properties of the 3D printed part are consistently achieved.
This material is a precipitation strengthened nickel-base superalloy with a unique combination of high temperature strength, thermal stability, and fabricability. The alloy was developed for high temperature structural applications.
