Bronze powder PM-BR101P
Powmet bronze 90/10 powder, -35+10µm
PM-BR101P is a gas atomized bronze powder (10% tin content), specifically developed for laser melting applications. PM-BR101P is carefully prepared by using a special atomizing process, that guarantees spherical powder particle geometry and maximizing the powder quality. Composition and size distribution (-35+10μm) have been designed to maximize energetic absorption from laser beam during the laser melting process. PM-BR101P can be used with success in all the laser melting machines. The powder offers excellent flowability; it has extremely high shininess and lustrous color after finishing. The alloy is not suitable for age-hardening.
