WK78812 - New Test Method for Measurement of Particle Size and Shape of Additive Manufacturing Base Materials by Dynamic Imaging Analyzers

Work Item

ASTM WK78812

New Test Method for Measurement of Particle Size and Shape of Additive Manufacturing Base Materials by Dynamic Imaging Analyzers

1. Scope

The method will cover the determination of particle size and shape distributions of metal and ceramic additive manufacturing base materials using dynamic imaging analyzers

Keywords

additive manufacturing; particle shape; particle size

Rationale

Particle size and shape of base materials affect the flowability of the powder and the quality of manufactured parts. Imaging technology can assess both these parameters at the manufacturing stage in order to optimize both size and shape for the end user.
