01 Particle size analysis

This test determines the size distribution of particles using techniques such as laser diffraction and sieving, influencing properties such as reactivity and flow behavior.

ISO 13320ASTM B822

02 Particle morphology analysis

This test uses techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to characterize the shape and surface structure of particles, which are fundamental to the performance of the material.

ISO 13322-1ASTM F1877

03 Determination of apparent and real density

This test measures the density of powders to assess their compatibility with molding, sintering, and additive manufacturing processes.

ISO 3923ASTM B212

04 Flow behavior analysis

This test verifies the flowability of powders by means of angle of repose, flow velocity, and compressibility tests, which are crucial parameters for dosing and filling in industrial processes.

ISO 4324ASTM

05 Moisture absorption and chemical stability

This test analyzes the ability of powders to absorb moisture and their stability in different environments, ensuring consistent performance over time.
