EOS Aluminium AlSi10Mg

Aluminium AlSi10Mg

Several materials with a wide range of applications for e-manufacturing are available for the EOSINT M-systems. EOS Aluminium AlSi10Mg is an aluminium alloy in fine powder form that has been specially optimised for EOSINT M 270. Other materials are also available for EOSINT M-systems and new materials are developed continuously. 

 

EOS Aluminium AlSi10Mg is a master alloy aluminium- powder. AlSi10Mg is a typical casting alloy with good casting properties and is used for cast parts with thin walls and complex geometry. The alloy combination silicon/magnesium results in a significant increase in the strength and hardness. It also features good dynamic properties and is therefore used for parts subject to high loads.
Standard building parameters completely melt the powder in the entire part. Parts made of EOS Aluminium AlSi10Mg can be machined, wire eroded and electrical discharge machined, welded, micro-blasted, polished and coated. Unexposed powder can be re-used.

Typical applications:

– Direct manufacture of functional prototypes, small production runs, user-specific products or spare parts
– Parts that require a combination of good thermal properties with low weight, e. g. for
motorsport applications
