Honeywell qualifies 6K Additive’s Nickel Ni718 for aerospace Additive Manufacturing
June 3, 2025
6K Additive, a division of 6K, based in North Andover, Massachusetts, USA, has announced that Honeywell Aerospace Technologies has qualified its Nickel Ni718 metal powder for use in the Additive Manufacturing of aerospace components.
“Honeywell is a clear leader in aerospace and avionics, with parts found on virtually every commercial, defence and space aircraft,” stated Frank Roberts, president of 6K Additive, in a post on LinkedIn. “They’re a company that leads with sustainability in everything they do, and that includes their cutting-edge, end-to-end Additive Manufacturing operations. We’re extremely proud that our nickel alloy has now been qualified by the team at Honeywell, empowering sustainable Additive Manufacturing production in the aerospace industry like never before.”
6K Additive’s nickel Ni718 powder is a Ni-Cr-Mo-Ti precipitation hardening alloy offering high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance. The powder’s properties are said to make this alloy an attractive material for Additive Manufacturing applications where high-temperature oxidation is a concern, such as aerospace, land-based turbine components, and other high-temperature industrial parts.
