Metal powders
Materials at the foundation.
Iron and steel, stainless steel, copper and bronze, and advanced alloy systems form the KVX materials vision.
Material families
Explore the powder portfolio.
Material families within the development vision. Specific grades follow technical evaluation and application qualification.
Beyond the alloy name
Powder characteristics and processing.
Chemistry is one part of the specification. Particle characteristics, handling behaviour and the downstream route also shape material selection.
What defines a metal powder?- Composition
- Base alloy, additions and relevant impurity limits.
- Particle characteristics
- Size distribution, morphology and surface condition.
- Process behaviour
- Flow, apparent density and forming or spreading requirements.
- Traceability
- Batch identity, test methods and a defined qualification basis.
