Inconel 625 (BMD, Desktop Metal Nickel Alloy IN625 (Studio System 2), sintered)

Desktop Metal Nickel Alloy IN625 (Studio System 2) is the maker's grade of Inconel 625 printed by bound metal deposition, here in the sintered condition. Alloy powder held in a polymer and wax binder is extruded layer by layer, then debound and furnace-sintered, shrinking substantially, so parts are printed oversized to reach final dimensions. Sintering gives an equiaxed grain structure without the melt-pool texture of laser processes, but leaves some residual porosity, visible layer lines and a rough surface, so functional faces are usually machined. Parts serve as low-volume corrosion- and heat-resistant brackets, fittings, fixtures and prototypes for chemical, marine and energy equipment. Every value on this page is read from Desktop Metal's own material data sheet — quoted, cited and dated — and is the maker's statement about printed material, not a measurement by MatWorld; none has yet been reviewed by a person.
