The additive manufacturing industry revolutionized how complex, high-performance components are designed and produced, enabling faster prototyping, reduced material waste, and customized solutions across aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and energy sectors. However the industry faces significant challenges, that demand innovative solutions:
Reliance on Spherical Powders
Additive manufacturing relies on spherical powders for optimal flowability and packing density. These powders can be produced using various atomization methods, each suited to specific applications and capable of processing a unique range of materials. Choosing the right atomization method is critical to achieving desired material properties and meeting the stringent requirements of additive manufacturing processes.
Heat Treatment Complexities
Heat treatment of parts obtained via additive manufacturing poses significant challenges due to thermal stresses that can lead to distortion or cracking and the material’s high affinity for oxygen, which increases the risk of surface contamination.
High Costs of Metal Powder Production
Producing high-quality metal powders is often seen as prohibitively expensive. The costs are driven by the energy-intensive nature of traditional atomization methods and the specialized equipment required, which limits accessibility for smaller-scale operations.
Powder Recycling Limitations
Additive manufacturing generates significant amounts of leftover or out-of-spec powders. These powders are often challenging to recycle due to changes in particle morphology, contamination risks, or shifts in chemical composition, leading to increased waste and costs.
Challenges in Advanced Material Development
Developing new materials for additive manufacturing involves overcoming slow, iterative processes that are both time-intensive and costly. This challenge is compounded by the need to tailor materials to specific applications while ensuring they meet stringent performance and quality requirements.
CHOOSE YOUR COMPOSITION
Solutions for Additive Manufacturing Industry
The challenges in the additive manufacturing industry can be addressed through various methods, each offering distinct advantages and drawbacks
01
In the context of powder atomization, different methods impose specific requirements on the feedstock material, which can limit flexibility in developing new powders tailored for 3D printing. For example, gas and plasma atomization require pre-alloyed feedstocks, whereas ultrasonic atomization can process raw elemental materials, providing a more versatile pathway for creating novel powder compositions. However, all methods require careful optimization to produce the high-quality, spherical powders essential for additive manufacturing.
02
When it comes to the heat treatment of titanium and other reactive metals, processes can be conducted in an argon environment to minimize oxidation, followed by mechanical or chemical removal of oxidized layers. Alternatively, heat treatment can involve the use of tantalum wraps or metals with a higher affinity for oxygen, such as steel 316Ti. While these approaches are effective, they often incur high costs and lead to significant losses of strategic raw materials, making them less sustainable for large-scale applications.
03
Achieving a balance between cost, sustainability, and material flexibility is essential for overcoming these challenges and unlocking the full potential of additive manufacturing technologies.

AMAZEMET actively contributes to the advancement of additive manufacturing and materials science. Explore our recent scientific publications highlighting our innovations:
01
High-Performance High Entropy alloys for heat resistant applications
This paper explores the innovative technology of ultrasonic atomization by employing metal powder-cored wire as a filament to fabricate spherical powders. The method demonstrates a novel approach to generate uniform size distributions of spherical-shaped powders in the range of 30–60 μm, characterized by a homogeneous high-entropy composition. This technique’s significance lies in its ability to efficiently produce High Entropy Alloy (HEA) powder, marking a substantial stride toward energy-efficient routes in material fabrication. The implications extend across multiple industrial sectors, promising new way for advanced materials synthesis and manufacturing processes.
02
Enhancing Additive Manufacturing with Magnetocaloric Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler Alloy-Embedded Polymer Filaments
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys offer promise for aerospace, railway, and 3D technology applications, yet their inherent limitations, including inadequate strength, pose challenges. Magnesium matrix composites, particularly with metallic reinforcements like titanium (Ti) and its alloys, present a viable solution. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of Ti6Al4V reinforcement on AZ31 magnesium alloy composites produced using pulse plasma sintering (PPS). Results show enhanced microhardness of the materials due to improved densification and microstructural refinement. However, Ti6Al4V addition decreased corrosion resistance, leading to strong microgalvanic corrosion and substrate dissolution. Understanding these effects is crucial for designing Mg-based materials for industries like petrochemicals, where degradation-resistant materials are vital for high-pressure environments. This research provides valuable insights into developing Mg-Ti6Al4V composites with tailored properties for diverse industrial applications, highlighting the importance of considering corrosion behavior in material design. Further investigation is warranted to establish predictive correlations between Ti6Al4V content and corrosion rate for optimizing composite performance.
03
Controlling Crystallization in Metallic Glasses for Part-Specific 3D Printing of In Situ Composites
This research presents a comprehensive study on the production of aluminum-matrix composite (AMC) powders using ultrasonic atomization for additive manufacturing (AM). The impact of different heat sources—plasma, arc, and induction melting—was evaluated on the processability and resultant properties of the AMC powders, including morphology, size, and composite structure. Additionally, induction melting was considered in terms of process parameters such as pressure difference, nozzle size, and frequency. The analysis of AMC powder processability revealed that the efficiency of the ultrasonic process depended on the selected heat source. The highest efficiency, nearly 50%, was attained with the induction system. All produced AMC powders exhibited high sphericity, with average sizes ranging from 88.2 to 120 µm. However, the desired composite structure was not achieved under tested conditions due to the decrease in SiC particle content from 20% in the feed material to approximately 3.5% in the final AMC powder. Based on these results, the research highlights the potential and limitations of ultrasonic atomization in AMC powder production, emphasizing the need for further optimization to improve powder quality and process efficiency for broader industrial application in AM.
