How the printed metal performs
Room-temperature tensile data published by Carpenter Additive for PowderRange CCM-MC: average of at least 5 samples per orientation and condition. A guide for your own qualification, not design data.

Heat treatment
Carpenter datasheet, process guidance
- Anneal per ASTM F3213: 1215 °C (2219 °F) for 2 hours under inert gas, cool faster than 220 °C (396 °F) per minute to 540 °C (1004 °F), then air cool.
- HIP per ASTM F3213: at least 100 MPa (14.5 ksi) at about 1204 °C (2200 °F) for 240 minutes in argon.
- Hard to machine in any heat-treated condition: it work-hardens fast and conducts heat poorly. Plan rigid tooling and enough machine power.

Will it run on my printer?
Carpenter states that PowderRange CCM-MC is compatible with all commercially available laser powder bed fusion equipment. The 15–45 µm F cut is the LPBF cut; for DED and EBM, use the 45–106 µm option above. Ask our materials engineer for starting parameters for your machine.
