  "id": "MLC-T-ADM-000324",
  "term": "Reactive metals",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "Metals that readily oxidize or react with other elements, particularly oxygen and nitrogen, during additive manufacturing processes. These materials, such as titanium and aluminum alloys, require inert gas environments like argon or vacuum chambers to prevent contamination and maintain material properties. Their high reactivity necessitates careful handling and processing to achieve desired part quality.",
