Key factors to consider when manufacturing suppressors with world-class precision

A rifle silencer manufacturer planning to use 3D printing technology needs to have a deep understanding of several key factors related to the materials.

Download our paper to learn the main factors you need to consider regarding the materials you can use for building your suppressors. It also presents the characteristics of five materials that fit the requirements and high demands for creating a
world-class suppressor.

If your customers of suppressors prioritize customization, innovation and superior performance, we have the right materials including Ti, IN625, IN718, Haynes® 282®, and 17-4PH for use with Laser Powder Bed Fusion technologies.

 

forAM® advanced alloys

Discover the superior performance of our advanced alloys for 3D printing.
Ti6Al4V is the versatile Ti based alloy for additive manufacturing.

Ti6Al4V grade 5 specifications offers high specific strength combined with high corrosion resistance as well as good biocompatibility. This makes it a good choice for many applications in aerospace and automotive as well as medical industries. High cleanliness level and good processibility of Höganäs Ti powders allows multiple recycling cycles and therefore reducing total cost in production of Ti based components.

Applicable standards:
  • ASTM F2924
  • ASTM F3001

Equivalent to Inconel 625.

Equivalent to Inconel 718.

Looking for a nickel alloy that is tougher than the rest?

forAM® Haynes® 282® alloy is a strengthened nickel-based superalloy developed for high temperature structural applications, particularly for aero and industrial gas turbine engines. It possesses a good combination of creep strength, thermal stability, weldability and fabricability.

forAM Haynes 282 alloy has exceptional creep strength in the temperature range of 650-930 °C (1200-1700 °F). Thanks to the excellent rupture strength at 700 °C, forAM Haynes 282 alloy offers both potential cost savings and improved manufacturability.

The forAM Haynes 282 alloy powder is part of the Höganäs product portfolio of additive manufacturing metal powders. Haynes 282 are registered trademarks of Haynes International, Inc.

At Höganäs, we are convinced additive manufacturing with metal powders will reach mass production within the foreseeable future. And we believe it is crucial to develop and invest in tomorrow´s solutions…today.
