MetcoAdd 6022A has been designed for processing in Laser

Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB). MetcoAdd 6022A has been
meticulously engineered and tested to meet the demanding
requirements of powder bed additive manufacturing.

In the printed and heat treated condition, MetcoAdd 6022A

has a fully austenitic ( face-centered-cubic ) structure for ex-
cellent ductility and corrosion resistance. As Metco 6022A
does not contain any precipitation-formers (e.g., Al, Ti, Nb),
structures produced from MetcoAdd 6022A are also essen-
tially free of secondary or precipitation phases. This further
contributes to the outstanding corrosion resistance and ex- Typical cross-section of MetcoAdd 6022A gas-atomized powder with a free-
