Introduction of New Metal Powder: Aluminum Alloys

Today the company is also announcing its intention to produce additional powder materials for its plasma-atomized metal powder business line, with the first being aluminum alloy powder.

This development comes as a result of being approached repeatedly by tier one global automakers, who have requested aluminum alloy powders made with plasma atomization – specifically from the alloy known as AlSi10Mg. This alloy is traditionally used as a casting alloy, due to its high corrosion resistance, low density and light weight, and high mechanical strength of the final components, while at the same time, offering particular suitability for thin-walled components and parts with complex geometries.

This is a medium-term goal for the company and will require an additional stand-alone production system to (i) prevent cross-contamination, (ii) allow for individualized research and development, and (iii) facilitate the large scale and volume of production that is anticipated as a result of previous requests, and today’s announcements.
