METAL POWDER
AlSi10Mg
ENABLING YOUR ADDITIVE REVOLUTION.
When it comes to additive manufacturing with metals, Heraeus
is your trusted partner throughout the process. Combining
decades of experience in metal handling and recycling with our
thorough expertise in additive manufacturing, we are able to
provide you with real peace of mind. Our expertise in processes,
powders and printing gives you with the highest degree of design
freedom for your components.
With high-quality powders, batch consistency and traceability,
and variable particle size distribution, we can meet even very
exacting additive manufacturing demands.
In addition to supplying powders, we are also your partner
for printing components and can offer you the complete
manufacturing service.

Material Description
Chemical Composition
AlSi10Mg is an age-hardening cast aluminum alloy with good
hardness, strength and dynamic toughness. It is traditionally used
as a casting alloy. Powder made from AlSi10Mg is commonly used
in additive manufacturing, due to the high corrosion resistance,
low density and high mechanical strength of the final components.
Additive manufacturing components require less thermal postprocessing than cast components. Typical applications are found
in the aerospace and automotive industries.
