Webinar: Quality control for powder metallurgy

The mechanical properties of a finished product depend to a great extent on the manufacturing process and the characteristics of the powder used in that process. Physical properties of the powder material must fully comply with specifications.

Particle Characterization & Elemental Analysis are two important methods used in quality control of metal powders. Microtrac MRB and ELTRA offer a live webinar packed with valuable information on how to improve your QC process in these areas.

In the webinar Quality control for powder metallurgy Microtrac MRB will take a close look at the influence of size distribution and particle shape which is crucial for the suitability of a powder for additive manufacturing. ELTRA will explain the influence of the elements C/S/O/N/H on your sample material and why quality control using elemental analysis is required.
