Technology & Products
Key Products
TMA-G (Gas Metal Atomizer) - spherical powder production; TMA-W (Water Metal Atomizer) - irregular powder production; T-VIGA configuration - enhanced gas atomizer for stainless/Ni-based/MoCrCo; T-EIGA system - reactive metal powder (titanium) production; TVM (Vacuum Induction Melting furnaces); TCC (Vacuum Continuous Casting Machines) - sheets/rods; TMF-R (Tilting Induction Furnaces) - ferrous/non-ferrous/precious metals; TMF (Manual Extraction Furnaces); Metal Granulators; FCC (Burnout & De-waxing Ovens); TCF (Cupellation & Precious Assay Furnaces)
Technological Advantage
CLAIMED: Deep competences in thermal processes, induction heating, and power electronics (20+ years). Versatility across ferrous, non-ferrous, and precious metals. VERIFIED: Gas atomizer designed specifically 'for Additive Manufacturing' (TMA-G line); capability to produce stainless steel, Ni-based, MoCrCo, and titanium powders; vacuum and inert-gas systems for quality control. DEFENSIBLE: Proprietary induction furnace designs for powder atomization; closed-system vacuum chambers for reactive metal handling.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Integrated powder production solution combining induction melting, atomization, and granulation with 20+ years of thermal process expertise; enables customers to in-house produce spherical metal powders for AM (titanium, stainless steel, nickel-based alloys) at controlled costs with quality semi-finished products.
How They Differentiate
Topcast combines gas AND water atomization in single platform (competitors often specialize in one); integrated VIM-to-powder-to-granulation workflow reduces equipment sprawl; specialized EIGA and VIGA configurations for reactive metals (titanium, refractory alloys) vs. competitors' broader industrial focus; emphasis on custom induction heating solutions vs. standard plasma or rotating electrode competitors.
