Description
ZK60 Magnesium Alloy Micron Powder, Size: 20–63 µm, Spherical
ZK60 is a magnesium-zinc-zirconium alloy widely recognized for its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior castability. In micron powder form (20–63 µm, spherical morphology), ZK60 is highly valued for additive manufacturing, coatings, and advanced material applications.
The spherical particle shape ensures good flowability and uniform packing density, which is essential for powder metallurgy and 3D printing. ZK60 alloy combines the lightweight properties of magnesium with enhanced strength from zinc and zirconium, making it a preferred material in aerospace, defense, and biomedical applications.
