Determination of the oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen content in metal powders

Metal powders are used in additive manufacturing processes, also referred to as 3D printing. The quality of the printed parts heavily depends on the quality of the raw material, whether virgin or recycled powder. Therefore, elemental analysis in metal powders is an important step in the quality control process.

This Application Note shows the determination of oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen in metal powders with our inorganic elemental analyzer inductar® ONH cube.
