Outstanding Performance, Leading Cutting-Edge Applications
High Electrical Conductivity: Meets requirements for precision circuits, electromagnetic shielding, and conductive connectors.
High Thermal Conductivity: Efficient heat dissipation reduces operating temperatures, enhances device stability and lifespan, and significantly boosts system performance. Ideal for thermal-sensitive components (e.g., electronic chip heat sinks, LED cooling modules).
Lightweight Heat Dissipation: Combines excellent thermal performance with the low density of aluminum alloy. Flexible 3D printing designs enable lightweight heat exchangers for aerospace and automotive electronics.
Low Oxygen Content & High Flowability: Ensures stable printing processes, achieving part density exceeding 99.5% and reducing post-processing costs.
 
Technological Innovation Empowering Large-Scale Industrial Production
The high thermal/electrical conductivity 3D printing aluminum alloy powder CNPC-Al0407 utilizes CNPC POWDER’ proprietary AMP (Automated Metal Production) process. This technology ensures precise control of alloy composition ratios, guaranteeing consistent high performance across all production batches, while significantly enhancing production efficiency. It provides a robust foundation for industrial-scale manufacturing applications.
Compared to traditional gas atomization methods such as VIGA (Vacuum Induction Gas Atomization) and EIGA (Electrode Induction Gas Atomization), CNPC POEDER’ proprietary AMP production line (a novel atomization process) demonstrates significant advantages in the 3D printing metal powder market:
Ø Superior Quality: High sphericity and flowability, minimal satellite particles, and optimized printing performance.
Ø Cost Efficiency: Precise production with over 60% yield in target particle size, effectively reducing costs.
Ø High Productivity: Continuous and efficient production with shorter cycle times.
