Nano MMC Additive Wire

Gamma is changing the options possible for aluminum wire metal 3D printing . Whether your needs are an improved 5000 series or to find 2000 series or 7000 series aluminum alloys that ACTUALLY work, Gamma offers viable and robust solutions. Drawing down to as far as 1mm in diameter where needed, Gamma’s wire will print without cracking, and heat treat (where applicable) to similar or better properties than any currently available wrought alloys of similar composition.

Many have claimed to have high strength additive manufacturing powders with repeatable properties, no one has yet delivered on this claim. Gamma can deliver on this claim.  With our nano-ceramic particles buried inside the metal particles, we are printable, and we maintain our strength after printing.  The presence of the particles allow the grain structure to reform after the fast melt-freeze process that occurs during printing, resulting in a fine grain and crack-free microstructure that optimizes performance. Please contact us for more details.

Gamma started with the design and production of wrought aluminum alloys and as anyone is of their first born, we are mighty proud.  Our customers currently have products on the road, on the race track, and in the air (as well as many other places) with alloys that contain as much as 25% by volume micron-scale ceramic particles. The keys? The ceramic particles are small, spherical, and non-reactive.  This makes them easier for Gamma to form into alloys than any other MMC out there.  It also makes it possible for our customers to economically manufacture these materials into end products.  2000, 5000, 6000, and 7000 alloys are all available and our volumes are highly scalable.  Whether you need a kilo or several metric tons, let us know, we are ready to supply.
