Aluminum Alloy Powders

Aluminum-base alloy powder inquiries for additive manufacturing, powder metallurgy and research. Match the grade and powder window to the process.

Powder material specimens; appearance reference

Choose a material

Al-Si alloy grades

Keep AlSi10Mg, AlSi7Mg and AlSi12 grade identities explicit. Compare composition and particle-size windows against the process and equipment requirements.

6061, 7075 and scandium-containing systems

Use the recognized grade or a full composition brief. Add powder-production route, morphology and required batch records before comparing candidate powders.

Material selection guide

Start with the material identity and process, then check the details on the proposed datasheet.

Grade & chemistry

Use the recognized alloy designation and required composition limits. A family label such as Al-Si-Mg does not replace a grade specification.

Particle & cleanliness

Describe size window, sphericity/morphology, oxygen, flow and apparent density using the methods your process requires.

Equipment & supply

Provide the intended machine/process and evaluation plan. Packaging and shipment are reviewed using the exact candidate's material information.

Before you choose

Can two powders carrying the same alloy name be interchanged in a machine?

Not without comparing particle profile, chemistry, powder-production route and the equipment requirements. A grade name alone is not a qualification result.

What does this directory cover?

Elemental aluminum and copper/titanium/other alloy families are listed separately. No AM-machine compatibility is implied by inclusion.

What to include in your request

A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know.

  • Alloy designation and chemistry limits
  • Process/equipment and particle-size window
  • Morphology, oxygen and flow/density
  • Evaluation quantity and batch documents

Quantity, samples and documents

Nike has no fixed minimum order. Tell us the quantity you need; we’ll check supplier pack sizes and any minimums.

We’ll check the proposed grade, sample options, delivery timing and available batch documents. Include any essential COA, TDS or SDS requirements.
