PAS 6010:2020

This standard PAS 6010:2020 Additive Manufacturing. Wire for directed energy deposition (DED) processes in additive manufacturing. Specification is classified in these ICS categories:

• 29.060.01 Electrical wires and cables in general
• 29.060.10 Wires

This PAS specifies requirements for wire to be used in wire-fed directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing (AM) for manufacturing. It covers dimensions and tolerances, cast/helix, surface condition, internal condition, marking, packaging, materials handling, storage, testing methods and some aspects of material composition.

This PAS is intended for use by wire suppliers, wire material developers and manufacturers, DED machinery developers and manufacturers, DED users and DED component end users.

This specification does not cover use conditions, for example, processing parameters.

NOTE Units – The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

This PAS does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
