Abstract:
One of the problems of the AM technology market is low availability of powder materials, particularly the high-melting ones. On the other hand, due to the characteristics of these materials, it is difficult to obtain printouts with optimal density and a small number of cracks. There are many ways to avoid these types of problems. One of them is input materials modification. The paper presents a solution using the phenomenon called “the rhenium effect”, based on molybdenum powders modification with rhenium. Different processes of thermal reduction and plasma spheroidization were used. Physical properties, microstructure, homogeneity, chemical and phase composition of produced powders were investigated.
