The correct metal powder depends on end process, expected manufacturing behaviour and final part requirements. Price matters, but industrial qualification depends above all on repeatability.
Start from particle size distribution
Particle size influences packing, apparent density, sintering behaviour, melt response and surface finish. Fine powders may increase reactivity; coarser cuts may improve feed, flow and dimensional stability.
Match morphology with process needs
Irregular particles can support green strength and mechanical interlocking. Semi-spherical grades balance compactability and flow. Spherical powders are usually preferred where controlled spreading and feed consistency are critical.
MEPOSO can support grade selection, sampling and technical comparison for industrial qualification.
