This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18119060 titled 'POWDER METAL MATERIAL FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING NON-MAGNETIC STEEL

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a powder metal material for additive manufacturing.

  • The material consists of a non-magnetic steel powder that does not contain nitrogen.
  • It also includes a ferrovanadium nitride powder, with a particle size ranging from 15.0 μm to 25.0 μm.
  • The ferrovanadium nitride powder makes up 0.3% to 3.0% of the total mass of the powder metal material.
  • The invention aims to provide a specific composition of powder metal material suitable for additive manufacturing processes.
