02 | The platform

Four capabilities, one platform

Powder is one expression of our capability — not its limit. Beneath every product is the same thing: metallurgical mastery applied to the materials advanced manufacturing depends on.

Capability

What the platform is made of

01 / 04

Metallurgy & material science

Decades of metallurgical depth: alloy design, particle morphology and microstructure, controlled and repeatable.

02 / 04

Atomisation & advanced processing

Gas atomisation at qualified industrial scale, with the downstream and speciality routes that turn material into performance.

03 / 04

Engineered performance

Materials specified to the part and qualified to the standard — for AM, MIM, HIP and coating technologies.

04 / 04

Trusted partner

Embedded with customers from R&D through qualification to serial production, across long horizons.

Process

From specification to serial production

Eleven atomising plants across Neath and Sandviken. Every stage documented, every batch traceable. AS9100D certified at Sandviken.

  1. 01

    Specification

    The part, the process and the standard define the material — not the other way round.

  2. 02

    Alloy design

    Chemistry set against the performance envelope, drawing on 2,000+ powder grades on record.

  3. 03

    Melting

    Vacuum induction melting under controlled atmosphere for low-impurity chemistry.

  4. 04

    Atomisation

    Inert gas atomisation disperses the molten stream into controlled, high-sphericity particles.

  5. 05

    Classification

    Precision cuts to the exact particle size distribution the process requires.

  6. 06

    Characterisation

    PSD, morphology, chemistry, rheology and apparent density verified against specification.

  7. 07

    Qualification

    Documented, traceable and repeatable — from first article to serial production.

Standards

Qualified to recognised standards

Where an accepted specification exists, we work to it and cite it. Where one does not, we write the method down and hold it.
