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 specialty routes that turn material into performance.

03 / 04

### Engineered performance

Materials specified to the part and qualified to the standard — for AM, MIM, HIP, thermal spray and near-net shape.

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, POW 1–11, operated to AS9100 aerospace quality. Every stage documented, every batch traceable.

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 400+ distinct alloys 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.

### AS9100

Aerospace quality management

### ISO 9001

Quality management

### ISO 14001

Environmental management

### ISO 45001

Occupational health & safety
