Abstract

Recommends process requirements for production of metal powder feedstock for use in additive manufacturing of aerospace parts.

Scope

This specification is to prescribe process requirements for production of metal powder feedstock for use in additive manufacturing of aerospace parts. 1.1 Purpose This specification covers requirements for the production of metal powder for use as feedstock in additive manufacturing. Such powders may be pre-alloyed or commercially pure. This specification is not limited to a specific powder production method. It is intended to define those procedures and requirements necessary to achieve required cleanliness and performance of metal powder feedstock to be used in the manufacture of aerospace parts. This specification is intended to be used in conjunction with AMS powder specifications for additive manufacturing. 1.2 Application This specification shall be applied to the production of aerospace-quality powder for the additive manufacturing of aerospace parts. A typical application is for powder used in powder bed fusion or directed energy deposition additive manufacturing processes. Powder manufactured in accordance with this specification are typically but not limited to Fe, Ni, Co, Al, Cu, or Ti base alloys or commercially pure metal powder. 1.3 Safety - Hazardous Materials While the materials, methods, applications, and processes described or referenced in this specification may involve the use of hazardous materials, this specification does not address the hazards that may be involved in such use. It is the sole responsibility of the user to ensure familiarity with the safe and proper use of any hazardous materials and to take necessary precautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of all personnel involved .
