Webinario Particle Analysis: Is Laser Diffraction Sufficient for Quality Control 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

• What is Laser Diffraction and what can you measure with it?
• How does image analysis improve Laser Diffraction results?
• Why use a dedicated Image Analysis device like the CAMSIZER X2?
• Application examples: SYNC and CAMSIZER X2 measurements of metal powders
