Several of LCM’s alloys and metals are supplied in the form of powders, manufactured either directly by co-reduction, or by the crushing and milling of cast materials. Gas or water atomised powders can also be offered depending on the requirements of the final product and application.
LCM powders are produced to closely controlled particle size distributions, with focus on consistent and reproducible materials in order to maximise reliability.
Materials that are susceptible to oxidation are processed under inert atmosphere in purpose built plant to yield low oxygen products. Other potential contaminants are minimised through the optimisation of specific powdering techniques for each product type. This expertise, coupled with the appropriate selection of precursor raw materials and pre-powder processing, results in products meeting the most demanding technical specifications.
