Metalysis acquires a 40 kW Tekna spheroidiser. This enhances production of metal and alloy powders. The UK-based manufacturer aims to meet growing demand. High-performance powder metallurgy applications will benefit. This includes additive manufacturing (AM).
Key Benefits of Spheroidiser Acquisition
The spheroidiser enhances refractory alloy production. Tantalum and high entropy alloys see improvement. Metalysis targets the high-temperature niobium market. Materials like niobium C103 and FS85 are crucial. Aerospace and hypersonics industries rely on these. Metalysis CEO Nitesh Shah calls this a crucial milestone. The company produces advanced powders in-house. Spheroidisation process control reduces lead times. Global supply chain risks are mitigated. This is vital for niche markets. Refractory alloys and lightweight refractory high entropy alloys require precision. Metalysis uses its FFC Cambridge electrolysis process. This reduces metal oxides in a solid-state. Non-spherical powders are produced. These have unique attributes. Clean energy, semiconductors, and space technology use these. In-house spheroidisation improves powder consistency. Waste is reduced. Energy consumption is optimized. Environmental impact lowers compared to atomisation.
Enhanced Market Position
Metalysis positions itself as a key player. The critical materials supply chain strengthens. The company strengthens its market presence. These meet specific client needs.
