Metal Powder Applications

 

surface COATING

 

A metal object can be surface coated to achieve high resistance to wear and corrosion. The powders are suited to powder welding, flame spraying, HVOF, PTA and laser cladding.

Products used are Thermal spray powders, Stainless Steel Powders and Tungsten Carbides.

 

Architectural and paints

 

Metal powders can be added to resins or paints and applied to the surfaces of objects, to give them the appearance of being made of solid metal.

• Cold cast applications
• Sculptures
• Decorative paints
• Industrial paints including anti-foul and anti-corrosion

Products used are AluminiumBrassBronzeCopperGold and Silver Powders/Pastes, GraphiteIron powdersNickel flakesStainless Steel Powders/FlakesTinZinc and Zinc flakes.

 

Additive manufacturing

 

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing or direct digital manufacturing, is a process of building components in layers directly from 3D CAD data, without the need for complex and costly tools and with minimal waste material.

Unlike rapid prototyping, additive manufacturing goes to the next level by being able to mass-produce end-user products.

Product types used are AluminiumCopper, Cobalt, NickelStainless Steel.
