AEM can provide the spherica metal powder products are widely used in aerospace defense industry, with low Oxygen and Nitrogen content, high fine powder yield, narrower size distribution, high rate of seheroidizing, good spherical shape, good surface finish, good flowability, high apparent density, and other charateristics, which can meet the requirements of metal 3D printing, hot isostatic pressure, metal injection molding, laser cladding etc.

MIM Powder

Metal injection molding (MIM) is a metalworking process in which finely-powdered metal is mixed with binder material to create a "feedstock"  that is then shaped and solidified using injection molding. After molding, the part undergoes condition operations to remove the binder (debinding) and densify the powders. The part is finally sintered in the furnace. MIM feedstock can be composed of a plethpra of metal, or stainless steels, which is more widely used in powder metallurgy. In addition, Nickel and Cobalt based alloys are also include.
The molding process allows high volume, complex parts to be shaped in a single step. The window of economic advantage in MIM parts lies in complexity and volume for small-size parts. MIM materials are comparable to metal formed by competing methods, and final products are used in a broad range of industrial, commercial, medical, dental, firearms, aerospace, and sutomotive applications. AEM can provide a wide range of MIM powder materials.

Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) Powder

Today, metals are the fastest-growing segment of 3D printing. The development of additive manufacturing stimulates economic growth, but compatibility and cost of material is not readily guaranteed. Low-cost and high-quality metal powders are the key enablers for 3D printing, to realize its potential and transform industrial production.
Generally, gas atomized powders are preferred over other method for additive manufacturing and gas atomization has become the most common technique to produce metal powder for AM. Currently available alloys used inthe process include stainless steel, maraging steel, Cobalt Chromium, Inconel 625 and Inconel 718, Aluminium alloy, and Titanium alloy. AEM has developed a variety of powder materials that meet the requirements of metals 3D print.
