AlSi12 Powder
AlSi12 powder is a fine-grained aluminum-silicon alloy powder commonly used in additive manufacturing processes. It is produced by atomization, which involves melting the alloy and rapidly cooling it to form small powder particles. The resulting powder exhibits excellent flowability and can be easily processed using various additive manufacturing techniques such as selective laser melting (SLM) and electron beam melting (EBM).
Overview of AlSi12 Powder
AlSi12 or A413 is an aluminum casting alloy with relatively high silicon content. The addition of 12% silicon results in good wear resistance, low coefficient of thermal expansion, and high thermal conductivity.
Key properties of AlSi12 powder include:
Good strength and hardness
Excellent wear resistance
Good dimensional stability
High thermal conductivity
Good machinability and polishability
Low specific gravity
Available in various particle size distributions
AlSi12 is used for producing cylinder liners, piston rings, rocker arms, connecting rods, parts requiring heat and wear resistance. The powder metallurgy approach enables complex geometries.
Composition of AlSi12 Powder
The typical composition of AlSi12 powder is:
| Element | Weight % |
| Aluminum (Al) | Balance |
| Silicon (Si) | 11-13% |
| Copper (Cu) | <1% |
| Magnesium (Mg) | <1% |
| Iron (Fe) | <1% |
| Manganese (Mn) | <1% |
| Zinc (Zn) | <1% |
| Nickel (Ni) | <0.5% |
Properties of AlSi12 Powder
AlSi12 powder possesses the following properties:
| Property | Value |
| Density | 2.7 g/cc |
| Melting Point | 560°C |
| Thermal Conductivity | 150-180 W/mK |
| Electrical Resistivity | 4-6 μΩ.cm |
| Young’s Modulus | 80-90 GPa |
| Poisson’s Ratio | 0.33 |
| Tensile Strength | 240-300 MPa |
| Compressive Strength | 600-650 MPa |

The silicon additions result in higher strength, hardness, wear resistance, and thermal conductivity compared to unalloyed aluminum. The material retains good ductility and machinability.
Production Method for AlSi12 Powder
AlSi12 powder is manufactured by:
Gas Atomization – High pressure inert gas jets atomize molten AlSi12 alloy to form spherical powders. This produces powder with smooth morphology and narrow size distribution suitable for AM.
Water Atomization – High velocity water jets hit the molten metal stream to produce fine irregular AlSi12 particles. Lower cost but higher oxygen pickup.
Mechanical Milling – Ball milling of aluminum and silicon powders followed by blending, compacting and sintering. Leads to wide size distribution.
Gas atomization is preferred when spherical powder with controlled characteristics is required such as for additive manufacturing or MIM. Mechanical milling route is lower cost.
Applications of AlSi12 Powder
Key applications of AlSi12 alloy powder include:
Additive Manufacturing – Used to fabricate complex metal parts by selective laser melting, direct metal laser sintering, binder jetting etc.
Powder Metallurgy – Compacting and sintering to create high performance parts like piston rings, pump components, rocker arms.
Metal Injection Molding – Produces intricate components with excellent properties and surface finish.
Wear Resistant Coatings – Applied via thermal spray methods on cylinder bores, piston skirts, engine blocks.
Brazing Filler – For joining aluminum and steel components in automotive, aerospace applications.
Friction Materials – High silicon content improves friction performance. Used in brake pads, clutch discs.
Casting – Added to aluminum melts to improve castability and wear resistance.
Specifications of AlSi12 Powder
AlSi12 powder is available in different size ranges, grades and purity levels:
Particle Size: From 10 – 150 microns for AM, under 45 microns for MIM feedstock.
Morphology: Spherical, irregular and mixed shapes. Spherical improves flow and packing.

Agglomeration – prevents flow. Store cool, dry powder and consider addition of flow agents.
Fire hazards – do not store near ignition sources due to flammability of finely divided metals.
Inhalation – use masks to prevent inhaling fine powders during handling.
Safety data sheet precautions from supplier should be followed.
Proper inert gas glove box techniques recommended when handling reactive aluminum powders.
Testing and Characterization Methods
Key test methods for AlSi12 powder include:
Chemical analysis – ICP and XRF techniques determine composition, purity levels.
Particle size analysis – Carried out as per ASTM B822 using laser diffraction.
Morphology – Scanning electron microscopy reveals shape, surface structure.
Powder flow – Measured by Hall flowmeter as per ASTM B213 standard.
Density – Measured by gas pycnometry or apparent density method.
Microstructure – X-ray diffraction analysis for phases present.
Thorough testing and inspection ensures AlSi12 powder meets application requirements.
Comparison of AlSi12 and AlSi10Mg Powders
AlSi12 and AlSi10Mg are two aluminum alloy powders compared:
| Parameter | AlSi12 Powder | AlSi10Mg Powder |
