Powder Specifications

The tables below present GE Additive's validated materials or alloys that can be used on our different additive machines, based on the machine safety ratings and the specific material reactivity linked to the specification used to control powder properties.

GE Additive does not recommend to use powders that could present different properties than the ones validated and presented below, unless a comprehensive risk analysis has been conducted. Powder properties have a direct influence on their hazard characteristics and handling procedures.

Safety is at the heart of everything GE Additive makes and the only way to really lead the additive revolution. Are you ready?
