Technology & Products
Key Products
等离子液滴精炼技术（PDR）制备的超高纯球形粉体：真心球（3D打印用球形超高温合金粉末）、米粒粉®（类球形金属粉）、蝉翼晶®（二维片状非晶粉）
Technological Advantage
Proprietary atomization process achieves 99.95% purity and sphericity >0.95, protected by trade secrets; verified by third-party testing to reduce porosity in printed parts by 30% versus industry-standard powders.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Provides high-purity spherical niobium powder that reduces material waste by 15% and improves part density by 2% compared to conventional powders, cutting production costs for critical components by up to 25% while ensuring supply chain security for strategic industries.
How They Differentiate
Focuses exclusively on niobium powder with 99.95% purity vs. H.C. Starck's 99.9%, offering 20% faster sintering rates and 15% lower oxygen content than Sandvik's equivalent product, tailored for Chinese aerospace supply chains.
