Technology & Products
Key Products
Osprey® metal powders for AM; Titanium powder (Ti64, Ti6242, etc.); Nickel-based superalloys (Inconel 718, 625); Stainless steels (316L, 17-4PH); Copper alloys (C18150); Cemented carbide powders; Controlled expansion alloys; Online webshop for powder ordering
Technological Advantage
Proprietary gas atomization process yields high-purity, spherical powders with consistent particle size distribution, critical for reliable AM. Protected by trade secrets and process know-how accumulated over decades. Independently verified through customer qualifications (e.g., GE Additive binder jet beta partner, Renishaw collaboration). The advantage is defensible via manufacturing scale and customer qualification barriers, but replicable by well-funded competitors with similar atomization technology.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces material qualification risk by offering the broadest portfolio of AM-certified metal powders (over 60 alloys) with consistent quality, AS9100D aerospace certification, and low-carbon production using hydropower-sourced electricity.
How They Differentiate
Broadest alloy portfolio (60+ alloys) vs Carpenter's ~30 alloys; AS9100D certification for aerospace; low-carbon production using hydropower; 160+ years of materials expertise vs Höganäs's 80+ years; online webshop for direct ordering.
