3D Metalforge Limited announced that it is working with Hitatchi Metals Singapore and expanding its range of advanced additive metal powders. Based on this, 3D Metalforge has successfully printed an impeller for a customer using a new material customised to additive manufacturing - MAT21. MAT21 is an alloy which has superior properties than stainless steel, with high corrosion resistance under various conditions. MAT21 is a Hastelloy grade alloy which has an outstanding resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion as compared to C-22 and C-276 and is used to replace any of these. Through 3D Metalforge's technical know-how, the customer now has a readily available solution for Hastelloy parts and may also consider upgrading some parts for improved corrosion resistance. The print job is consistent with 3D Metalforge's focus on making technological advancements and becoming a leader in Additive Manufacturing technologies. 3D Metalforge will continiue working with Hitachi Metals, to enhance its value proposition for oil and gas parts printing, which require high performance quality such as high corrosion resistance and high strength. 3D printing metal powders are significantly important in providing AM solutions. Most metal powders used in AM are made for traditional manufacturing processes, and AM is moving beyond just using traditional materials and innovating with materials specifically suited for AM. Metal powders customised for AM processes are an emerging technology which can improve the performance of printed parts. Combining 3D Metalforge's expertise in providing a full range of AM services, the ability to work with new high performance metal powders is a significant competitive advantage in servicing clients.
