Tantalum Powder
I need US-produced powder for additive manufacturing. Who atomizes it, by what method, and in what cut?
What it is
Spherical or irregular particulate feedstock for additive manufacturing, metal injection molding and hot isostatic pressed near net shapes. Produced by gas atomization, plasma atomization, plasma rotating electrode process or hydride dehydride.
- Typical dimensions
- Sold by particle size distribution, commonly 15 to 45 or 45 to 106 micron cuts.
- Also known as
- metal powder, AM feedstock, atomized powder, spherical powder
Suppliers
Grouped by what they actually are. A mill and a distributor answer different needs.
