SAE AIR7359: Why Some Metal Powder Feedstock Properties Are Left Out of AM Specifications
AIR7359 explains why AMS-AM metal powder feedstock specifications leave certain properties uncontrolled, citing limited applicability and immature standardized inspection methods, and what that gap means for aerospace AM qualification programs.
Virgin-to-Reused Powder Blend Ratios in Aerospace PBF-LB Qualification: Where the Decision Actually Sits
As aerospace metal additive manufacturing capacity expands, more reused powder is going back into qualified builds. The virgin-to-reused blend ratio decision depends on PSD shift, satellite formation, and morphology drift, and cannot be settled by a single powder check disconnected from the part's stress state.

Concentrated Refractory Alloy Powders for Rocket Propulsion
Concentrated refractory alloy powders for rocket propulsion only create value when you treat them as a full chain problem. Alloy design, powder synthesis, powder quality, build strategy, and oxidation protection must align. If one link drifts, the part fails early, even when the alloy concept is sound. Table of [...]
Additive Manufacturing Integration and the Rise of Smart Powder Processing
Smart powder processing in additive manufacturing links engineered powders, real-time sensor data, and controlled post-processing. It lets aerospace, medical, and automotive manufacturers achieve reliable density, predictable microstructure, and traceable quality in every build. Table of contents Powder technology is at a turning point. A growing [...]
Powder and Granular Creep: Mechanisms, Testing, and Control
Powder creep mechanisms occur in various ways; powders creep in bins. Sintered parts creep in engines. The mechanisms differ, yet design control is possible. Use tight feedstock control, smart consolidation, and tuned heat schedules. Then match the grain size, γ′ fraction, and boundaries to the service window. Validate with proper creep tests and [...]
