Precision Manufacturing of CuCrZr, CuNi, and Custom Alloys via Selective Laser Melting

Selective Green Laser Melting (SLM) has emerged as a game-changer for copper alloys, overcoming the limitations of traditional manufacturing in producing high-strength, heat-resistant components. While pure copper excels in conductivity, copper alloy SLM printing combines this advantage with enhanced mechanical properties—making it indispensable for demanding industries like aerospace, automotive, and energy. XiaoJiao Tech leads this field, leveraging SLM technology to deliver copper alloy parts that balance performance, precision, and durability.

Why Copper Alloy SLM Printing Outperforms Traditional Methods

Copper alloys (e.g., CuCrZr, CuNi10Fe, CuAlNi，CuNiSiCr, and CuSn10.) require manufacturing processes that preserve their unique properties:

· Heat Resistance: Critical for components exposed to temperatures above 300°C (e.g., engine parts).

· Mechanical Strength: Tensile strength 2-3x higher than pure copper, essential for structural applications.

· Corrosion Resistance: Vital for marine or chemical processing environments.

Traditional methods (casting, forging) often fail here:

· Porosity Issues: Cast copper alloys develop internal voids, weakening high-stress components.

· Design Limitations: Machining complex geometries in hard alloys increases production time and costs.

· Property Degradation: Welding or brazing can alter alloy microstructures, reducing heat resistance.
