Evaluating the sensitivity of virgin and recycled Additive Manufacturing powders to segregation and humidity
Powders can change their flow properties as they are handled and used. They also can become more sensitive to segregation on handling and environmental conditions. This means that a powder that has been used or recycled may change its behaviour due to handling and environmental exposure more than virgin material. This behaviour is evaluated by testing the flow properties of virgin and used Additive Manufacturing powders with the Revolution Powder Analyser before and after exposure to segregation pressure and different environmental conditions.
