High Purity Metal Powders

The company offers a data sheet describing its ultra-clean and highly spherical titanium, cobalt alloy, and rare earth powders used for medical implants, metal matrix composites, and other specialized metallurgical applications.

The data sheet describes the PREP process which has produced powders from virtually every metal and alloy where high sphericity, cleanliness, and high yields are required. Eliminating the introduction of ceramic material, this process assures high purity and free-flowing powders with a highly controlled median particle size with a specified range from 18 to 325 MESH (1000 to 44 microns).

Providing a photograph depicting the uniformly spherical PREP powder particles and a graphic illustrating the plasma rotating electrode process, the two-page data sheet includes, the process' key features and typical PREP powder characteristics. Typical applications include medical orthopedic devices, metal matrix composites, bearing steel and rare earth minerals.
