Aluminium alloy F357 powder has the same quality signature as APATM titanium powders, namely good processing capability, high flow, high packing, low porosity and high purity. The powder maps well with AP&C’s existing product range and experience working with reactive and low-density metals.
“It’s great to add aluminium F357 to our portfolio,” says Alain Dupont, president and CEO at AP&C. “Our customers have been asking us to provide aluminium solutions to address the challenges they currently experience. We are confident that we’ve developed a solution which solves these challenges. The modular cell-based structure of our new plant in Saint-Eustache allows us to respond quickly to the additive industry’s demands as they evolve.”
Aluminium F357 alloy is known to have good weldability with high strength and toughness, offering good corrosion resistance and heat conductivity.
