Technology & Products

Key Products

AMPowder Titanium Series (Ti6Al4V, CP-Ti), AMPowder Aluminum Series (AlSi10Mg, AlSi7Mg), Nickel-based Superalloys (Inconel 718, 625), Cobalt-Chrome Alloys (CoCrMo, CoCrW), Stainless Steel & Die Steel Powders (316L, 17-4PH, MS1), Customized Refractory Metal Powders

Technological Advantage

Utilizes advanced vacuum gas atomization and plasma atomization technologies to achieve near-perfect sphericity (<1.05 aspect ratio) and extremely low satellite powder counts, ensuring high stability in Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Electron Beam Melting (EBM) processes.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Delivers high-purity, highly spherical metal powders with low oxygen content and superior flowability, reducing the total cost of ownership for industrial-grade 3D printing.

How They Differentiate

Zhongti differentiates through its proprietary 'AMP' (Additive Manufacturing Powder) automated production lines which significantly reduce labor costs and improve consistency. Unlike state-backed competitors that focus primarily on high-end defense, Zhongti emphasizes commercial scale and cost-efficiency to drive the industrialization of 3D printing in automotive and consumer electronics.
