Powder characterization according to Ma-0015
As part of your activities related to the additive manufacturing process, you wish to characterize metal powders according to the Ma-0015 criteria
What is Ma-0015?
Ma-0015 is a document written by SAFRAN that describes the general conditions for supply, processing and acceptance of metal powders intended for the manufacture of items or parts of items designed by SAFRAN.
What are the requirements set out by Ma-0015?
To ensure the quality of the parts produced, metal powders must therefore meet numerous requirements. The parameters regularly assessed are:
Compliance with the requirements associated with these various characteristics enables the metal powder to produce, on the manufactured part, a low defect rate (porosity, inclusion, etc.) and a high level of compactness, synonymous with excellent mechanical properties.
The FILAB laboratory is approved by SAFRAN for powder analysis according to the Ma-0015 specifications
Why choose the FILAB laboratory for powder characterization according to Ma-0015?
In France, FILAB is one of the few laboratories to offer you a full analytical platform for carrying out these services, which require expertise in both chemical analysis
(organic and inorganic), as well as in materials characterization, particularly powders.
The FILAB laboratory carries out, in accordance with the Ma-0015 technical specifications and under the protection of
theSAFRAN approval, the chemical analysis and physical tests on powder presented below

Instruments pour l’analyse des poudres métalliques :
- GranuHeap : mesure des propriétés statiques d’une poudre métallique (angle de repos, indice de cohésion statique).
- GranuDrum : mesure des propriétés d’écoulement (angle d’écoulement, indice de cohésion dynamique, angle de la première avalanche, aération de la poudre).
- GranuPack : mesure de la compaction dynamique d’une poudre métallique (densité apparente, densité tapée, ratio de Hausner, dynamique de densification).
- GranuFlow : mesure de l’écoulement à travers des orifices, indicateur clé de la coulabilité des poudres.
- GranuCharge : mesure des propriétés électrostatiques des poudres métalliques.
