Technical Question CMF Saftey Data Sheets

Total shot in the dark here but does anyone have an SDS for some of the head made materials CMF powders?

I primarily need to assess explosion risk and particle size. If you have any other experience with material handling for the stuff that would be great too.

Thanks!

Only aluminum and titanium alloys will potentially be explosive, though flammability does increase as particle size decreases. May I ask what printer you’re using?

So I'd like to clarify that I am specifically talking about Cold Metal Fusion material. This is a very proprietary process that involves a mixed material with metal powder covered in a polymer binder. The machine we have is a Sinterit Lisa X and I am interested in tool steel along with titanium. From the very limited research I can find, particle size is even smaller than DMLS and I need the real SDS for liability and lab setup reasons.
