Atomisation
Gas Atomisation
- A premier process for creating high-quality, spherical metal powders,
- Ideal for additive Manufacturing and Metal injection molding, this technique is renowned for producing powders with exceptional characteristics
- Particle Size: Predominantly less than 200 microns for precise applications
- Purity Level: Achieving less than 30 parts per million (ppm), ensuring top-tier quality.
- Flowability: Outstanding, facilitating ease of use in various applications
- High production Yield: With optimisation, yields can surpass 70%, making it an efficient choice
Ultrasonic Atomisation
- In our pursuit of excellence we also employ ultrasonic atomisation. This method is tailored for the production of ultra fine, spherical powders, particularly suited for small-scale, high-precision tasks. The process involves:
- Advanced Technique: Utilising an electric arc from a tungsten electrode to melt materials.
- Innovative Method: Feeding wire or rod into the arc, with ultrasonic vibrations breaking the molten material into fine droplets.
- Particle Size Distribution (PSD): Achieving a narrow range of 0-100 microns for specific application requirements.
QC and Inspection
We also have on site a CMM machine (Coordinate Measuring Machine) which is a precision instrument used to measure the physical geometry of an object. It uses a probe to detect surface points on the object and records exact coordinates in 3D. CMMs are widely used in quality control and manufacturing processes to ensure that parts meet design specifications, providing high accuracy for tasks like dimensional measurement, tolerance verification, and ensuring the consistency of produced parts. This is perfect for us to measure any 3D printed parts to ensure complete accuracy when inspecting, it is crucial to have precise manufacturing in industries such as aerospace, automotive and medical.
