  • Inconel 718 metal powder for 3D printing

    Inconel 718

    Process: SLM

    Fatigue Resistant, Temperature Resistance, Corrosion Resistance, Strength

    Inconel 718 is known for its outstanding high-temperature strength, creep resistance, and corrosion resistance. The material can withstand operating temperatures above 700°C while maintaining excellent fatigue and fracture resistance. Through additive manufacturing, GH4169 can produce parts with complex geometries and is widely used in aerospace engines, gas turbines, high-temperature molds, and high-performance industrial components.
    Disadvantages: High cost; complex heat treatment process; thin-walled structures require careful design; default surface roughness Ra10–12.

  • TPU

    Process: SLS

    Impact Resistance, Wear Resistance, Toughness

    TPU is a flexible and highly tough filament with excellent impact resistance and wear resistance. It is suitable for printing various production prototypes and functional parts that need to withstand impact, drops, and collisions.
