Your needs: analyse impurities in metal alloys on parts produced by additive manufacturing
What is impurity?
First of all, an impurity is an unwanted element in the composition of a product. Generally present in small quantities, an impurity can be a disqualifying factor in the marketing of your products.
Why analyse impurities in your additive manufacturing parts?
The performance of a part produced by additive manufacturing is directly linked to the characteristics and purity of the materials used.
Indeed, impurities in parts produced by additive manufacturing can have different impacts, in particular
- breakage
- the appearance of corrosion
- deformation, etc.
From this point of view, the analysis of impurities in your parts is an essential step in the production process.
Thus, the support of a laboratory specialised in the analysis of parts resulting from additive manufacturing is a significant asset in the optimisation of your materials.
