# Analysis of Metallic Alloy Impurities in Additive Manufacturing Parts

## Your needs: analyzing metallic alloy impurities in additive manufacturing parts

### What is an impurity?

First of all, an impurity is an undesired element that is part of a product’s composition. Generally present in small quantities, an impurity can be a disqualifying factor when it comes to bringing your products to market.

### Why analyze the impurities in your additive manufacturing parts?

The performance of an additive manufacturing part is directly linked to the characteristics and purity of the materials it is made of.

Indeed, impurities in additive manufacturing parts can have various impacts, including:

- breakage
- the onset of corrosion
- deformation, etc…

With this in mind, analyzing the impurities in your parts is an essential step in the production process.

As such, the support of a laboratory specialized in analyzing additive manufacturing parts is a major asset in optimizing your materials. FILAB’s laboratory can carry out these analyses in accordance with Safran Pr 6000 and Pr 7210.
