Webinar Is laser diffraction sufficient for quality control and analysis of metal powders?

Powders used for additive manufacturing must meet the highest quality standards. Microtrac offers two methods for particle characterization of metal powders: Laser Diffraction (LD) and Dynamic Image Analysis (DIA). Both methods provide a size distribution, but only imaging methods also detect the particle shape which is crucial for the suitability of a powder for additive manufacturing. In this webinar we discuss both techniques and introduce two analyzers: the SYNC which combines LD and DIA in one instrument and the CAMSIZER X2 which is a pure image analysis device.

Topics


  • Why should we measure size and shape of metal particles?
  • How to use laser diffraction dimensional analysis.
  • How dynamic image analysis can improve laser diffraction data.
  • What are the advantages for metal particle analysis of a dedicated dynamic image analysis particle size analyser.
