Titanium · Product form
Titanium 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.
Mills and producers 4
Companies that manufacture this form. Mill direct means longer lead times and mill minimums, with full melt traceability.

6K Additive VerifiedTi-6Al-4V (Grade 5)
Produced from scrap feedstock rather than virgin sponge, which is the point: it decouples from the import dependency.

ATI Inc. ReportedUS melted
Confirm current alloy availability and particle size cuts directly; ATI Powder Metals product detail was not published on the pages reviewed. MELT ORIGIN re-confirmed 2026-07-30 and corroborated rather than superseded: this is an integrated domestic producer that melts its own material. It remains a per-heat question regardless. DFARS 252.225-7009 status is settled on the mill certificate for the specific heat, not by the company record.

Carpenter Additive VerifiedTi-6Al-4V (Grade 5), Grade 1 (CP Titanium), Grade 2 (CP Titanium)
Gas atomized and optimized for additive manufacturing. Particle size cuts not published; request the certificate of analysis including oxygen and nitrogen.

IperionX Limited ReportedUS melted
Titanium powder from 100 percent recycled scrap via HAMR, produced at the Halifax County, Virginia campus where metal production commenced in the six months to 31 December 2024. Stated scale-up target is 2,000 metric tons a year. Downgraded from high to medium: domestic production is real but the capacity figure is a target, not demonstrated output. Confirm available tonnage.

Production methods
The same form, purchased as tolling on your own material.
Powder Atomization 2
Producing spherical metal powder by breaking up a molten stream or rotating electrode with inert gas or plasma. Method drives particle shape, oxygen pickup and satellite content, which in turn drive additive manufacturing performance.

6K Additive Verified
Proprietary UniMelt microwave plasma process rather than conventional gas atomization.
