Description
AZ91 Magnesium Alloy Powder (99.95%, 15–53 µm, Spherical)
AZ91 Magnesium Alloy Powder is a spherical alloy powder with a particle size of 15–53 µm and a purity of 99.95%, offering lightweight properties, high strength-to-weight ratio, and excellent corrosion resistance. Composed primarily of magnesium with aluminum and zinc, AZ91 is one of the most widely used magnesium alloys, known for its mechanical performance and processability.
Thanks to its spherical morphology, this powder exhibits superior flowability, packing density, and sintering behavior, making it ideal for powder metallurgy, additive manufacturing, and advanced coating techniques. It is also suitable for high-vacuum processes such as PVD, CVD, ALD, and thermal evaporation.
