AMS 5667 compliant Inconel 939 powder
Inconel 939 powder is a high-temperature, nickel-based superalloy 939 powder with excellent oxidation resistance, creep strength, and phase stability up to 980°C. Alloy 939 powder is produced via Gas Atomization (GA), Plasma Atomization (PA), or PREP, yielding highly spherical, flowable powder for additive manufacturing (AM), thermal spray, and powder metallurgy. Typical compositions include 22–23% Cr, 18–20% Co, 3.6–4.2% Ti, and 1.4–1.8% Al, ensuring superior mechanical properties. Gas-atomized Inconel 939 spherical powder (15-53μm, Hall flow ≤25s/50g) is fully compatible with additive manufacturing (SLM/LPBF, EBM), thermal spray (HVOF, plasma spray), and powder metallurgy (MIM, HIP) processes.

Laser powder bed fusion of the Ni superalloy Inconel 939 using pulsed wave emission
Abstract: The aim of this work is to determine the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) processability window for the fairly weldable Inconel 939 (IN939) alloy using pulsed wave (PW) laser emission. With that goal, a design of experiments strategy was put in place with the aim of finding out the laser power, scan speed and hatch distance parameters that would render the lowest defect density. Also, a combination of characterization techniques, including optical microscopy, electron backscattered diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy was utilized to examine the microstructure of as-built and heat treated samples at different length scales.
