# Aluminum Alloy Powders Source: https://powdchem.com/products/metal-alloy-powders/aluminum-alloys/ Page type: Material category Metals & alloy powders Aluminum-base alloy powder inquiries for additive manufacturing, powder metallurgy and research. Match the grade and powder window to the process. [Browse 6 materials]() [Ask about supply]() [Image: 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. #### AlSi10Mg alloy powder AlSi10Mg aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Al-Si-Mg system #### AlSi7Mg alloy powder AlSi7Mg aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Al-Si-Mg system #### AlSi12 alloy powder AlSi12 aluminum-silicon alloy powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Al-Si system ### 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. #### 6061 aluminum alloy powder 6061 aluminum alloy powder (AA 6061 grade) [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Al-Mg-Si alloy / 6061 #### 7075 aluminum alloy powder 7075 aluminum alloy powder (AA 7075 grade) [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy / 7075 #### Aluminum-magnesium-scandium alloy powder aluminum-magnesium-scandium (Al-Mg-Sc) alloy powder [Selection guide]() [Ask about this material]() Al-Mg-Sc system ## 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. [How we coordinate documents]() [Samples and testing]() [Send a material request]() ## Applications to explore.
