Metal powders
Advanced alloy systems
KVX’s wider materials vision includes aluminium, titanium, nickel-based and selected refractory systems, alongside specialist magnetic and wear-resistant materials.
Mₓ
Powder morphology and particle size vary with the production route.
Material selection starts with the application.
Material systems in focus.
Each alloy system has its own production and handling requirements. Alloy chemistry, powder characteristics and the intended service conditions determine the manufacturing and qualification route.
- Aluminium-based systems
- Titanium-based systems
- Nickel-based and specialist alloy systems
- Selected refractory and magnetic materials
Engineering considerations
Select around the application.
- Application need
- Mass, temperature, corrosion, wear or electromagnetic behaviour.
- Process compatibility
- The relationship between alloy, atomization method and consolidation route.
- Handling requirements
- Material-specific containment, contamination control and safe processing.
- Qualification
- Traceability, consistency and the evidence required for the end application.
Target applications
Connecting material to function.
- Selected lightweight component concepts
