Regarding 6061 aluminum alloy powder
6061 (corresponding to the Chinese national standard LD30) is a heat-treatable aluminum–magnesium–silicon alloy with approximately 0.8–1.2% magnesium and 0.4–0.8% silicon. This alloy combines moderate strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and good machinability and weldability, making it one of the most widely used aluminum alloys in additive manufacturing. In SLM printing, the high sphericity and outstanding flowability of 6061 powder ensure uniform powder spreading and stable printing; the resulting parts achieve a density exceeding 99%. Furthermore, the material is compatible with post‑processing techniques such as T6 heat treatment, anodizing for coloration, and welding, and finds extensive applications in aerospace lightweight components, automotive engine parts, housings for 3C electronic devices, and industrial molds. The powder has a density of approximately 2.68 g/cm³.
