Aluminum Alloy Powder Used for Space

--The Challenge

Some customers were seeking to procure Aluminum 7075 Powder tailored for space applications. SAM took specific specifications and diverse use cases into consideration and recommended selecting a particle size of less than 45 microns to ensure fluidity and consistency during processing.

--The Solution

The following potential applications are also recommended.

• Spacecraft Components: Aluminum 7075 Powder can be used for crafting essential structural elements, casings, and connectors for space-bound crafts. The reason is that the material's exceptional strength-to-weight ratio contributes to weight reduction, augmenting spacecraft efficiency and payload capacity.
• Engine Parts: The 7075 powder is employed to fabricate engine components for spacecraft as well, including propulsion chamber casings and combustion chamber walls.  
• Conductive Components: Given the significance of heat and electrical conduction in space settings, Aluminum 7075 Powder serves as a resource for creating conductive parts such as heat sinks and electronic packaging. These components ensure efficient heat dissipation and reliable transmission of electrical signals.

--The Results

By embracing the specified particle size and capitalizing on the manifold applications, Aluminum 7075 Powder proves indispensable in revolutionizing space engineering endeavors. Its capacity to produce lightweight yet durable components significantly advances the domain of spacecraft development, propulsion systems, and conductive apparatuses indispensable for space exploration.
