TRUER SPHERE – CuNi2SiCr – C0002
CuNi2SiCr powders can be used for complex parts of bearing or bushing by additive manufacturing. It is better than pure copper and brass for bearing. Its As-built strength of SLM can reach 307 MPa (reported by TRUER RP202205200197) at built rate 13.0 cm³/h with 390W/30um.
CuNi2SiCr is a precipitation-hardened copper alloy composed of copper, nickel, silicon and chromium. It has good balance of strength and electrical conductivity and excellent thermal stability. Its strengthening of CuNi2SiCr is based on the temperature-dependent solubility of the intermetallic phases Ni2Si and Ni5Si2 (Ni31Si12). Its mass density can reach 8.84 g/cm3.
Our spherical CuNi2SiCr powder can be produced by both Gas atomizing and PREP process with good flowability and sphericity.

LPBF Rene 125 -Optimizing HIP Temperature for Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) Superalloy Rene 125
In recent years, nickel-based superalloys like Rene 125 have attracted growing interest in the aerospace industry, particularly in turbine engine components where mechanical strength, oxidation resistance, and creep resistance at high temperatures are critical. Traditionally, Rene 125 has been processed via directional solidification (DS), but this method is both time-consuming
Aluminium Alloy Powder
Aluminium Alloy Powder Aluminium alloy powder consists of aluminium alloyed with elements such as copper, magnesium, silicon, zinc or others for enhanced strength, corrosion resistance. Common examples including AlSi10Mg, 6061, 7075, 7050, AlSi12, 2024, 5052 and AlMgSc etc. AlSi10Mg, 6061, 2024 and 7075 are widely used in selective laser melting
Pure Ni Powder
TRUER SPHERE – Pure Ni – N0000 Pure Ni Powder-Nickel powder can be used to manufacture stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant alloys, such as nickel steel, nickel chromium steel and various non-ferrous metal alloys. For additive manufacturing application, our common production process for pure nickel powder is Gas (argon or nitrogen)
