TRUER SPHERE - N0536
Nickel Alloy N0536 powder, also known as HX, Hastelloy X, UNS N06002 is a solid solution strengthened superalloy, one of the original nickel superalloys with excellent fabricability and weldability used in sintered metal parts and coating applications.
For additive manufacturing application, our common production process includes Gas (argon or nitrogen) Atomizing process (GA) & Plasma Rotating Electrode Process (PREP) with high spherical, high purity, high packing density, low porosity and excellent flowing properties.
