Heat treatment

Carpenter datasheet, process guidance

  • T6 (solution anneal, quench, age) can be used after the build, as for cast parts; follow the cycle your specification calls for.
  • Parts can be spark-eroded, welded, micro shot-peened, polished and coated.
  • Associated specifications: ASTM F3318, DIN EN 1706, EN AC-43000.

Before you order

Aluminum powder is reactive. A dust cloud of fine aluminum can ignite. Keep it dry, use grounded equipment and an ATEX-rated vacuum, and follow the safety data sheet and your machine maker’s guidance for aluminum.

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA on request.

What is PowderRange AlSi10Mg aluminum powder?
PowderRange AlSi10Mg aluminum powder is a lightweight aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy powder from Carpenter Additive, vacuum induction melted and nitrogen gas atomized to AMS7018. It combines low weight with good thermal properties and good corrosion resistance, and parts can be spark-eroded, welded, shot peened, polished and coated. Carpenter lists brackets, valves, waveguides, ducts and heat exchangers as typical aerospace and automotive uses.
What strength does printed AlSi10Mg reach?
In Carpenter's data for PowderRange AlSi10Mg after heat treatment, laser powder bed fusion parts reached 182 MPa yield, 284 MPa tensile strength and 19% elongation in the X–Y direction, and 180 MPa yield, 290 MPa tensile and 15% elongation in Z. The datasheet does not name the heat-treatment cycle. Use these values as a guide for your own qualification, not as design data.
Can AlSi10Mg parts be heat treated?
Yes. Carpenter notes that the T6 cycle used for cast parts, solution annealing, quenching and age hardening, can also be applied after the additive build to improve mechanical properties. Follow the temperatures in your specification. Related specifications for PowderRange AlSi10Mg include ASTM F3318, DIN EN 1706 and EN AC-43000, and the powder itself is made to AMS7018.
How is AlSi10Mg powder packed and handled?
The 10 kg order ships as two sealed 5 kg containers of 20–63 µm powder, each traceable to its Carpenter lot certificate. The safety data sheet classifies the powder as a flammable solid (H228), so keep it dry and away from ignition sources, use grounded equipment and an ATEX-rated vacuum, and read the SDS before first use. We sell the Delfin Inert vacuum shown on this page for reactive powders.
Does AlSi10Mg aluminum powder come with a certificate of analysis?
Yes. Every order of PowderRange AlSi10Mg aluminum powder ships with Carpenter Additive's certificate of analysis for the lot you receive. It lists chemistry, particle size distribution (D10, D50, D90), flow and apparent density, with the lot number for traceability. Carpenter states that its powder testing meets Nadcap Materials Testing and ISO/IEC 17025 chemical requirements. If your quality team needs to review a recent certificate before you order, ask us and we will send one.
How fast does AlSi10Mg aluminum powder ship, and how can I pay?
Add PowderRange AlSi10Mg aluminum powder to the cart and the ship date appears next to the button; in-stock Carpenter powder ships from US stock, typically within 2–5 business days. You can pay by card or PayPal, choose Invoice me at checkout to receive an invoice for bank transfer, or send a purchase order to [email protected]. Tax-exempt buyers can upload a certificate at checkout. For 100 kg or more, ask us for a volume quote.
Can I reuse unfused AlSi10Mg aluminum powder?
Many teams sieve and reuse unfused AlSi10Mg aluminum powder powder. How many reuse cycles you allow is part of your own qualification, so track particle size distribution and oxygen against your specification as the powder ages. Sieve before loading and after every build, keep recovered powder in a sealed container, and use an ATEX-rated vacuum for clean-up. We sell the ATO Sieve and Delfin powder vacuums shown on this page.
