Auto Parts Manufacturer

Metallurgy — Powder Metallurgy
Challenge

High scrap rates in sintered gear production due to inconsistent copper powder particle distribution.

Solution

Supplied a custom-grade copper powder with tighter particle size distribution (5-15 µm) and improved flowability.

Results
Scrap rate reduced by 35%

PCB Manufacturer

Electronics — Conductive Pastes
Challenge

Needed ultra-fine copper powder for high-density interconnect pastes without oxidation during storage.

Solution

Developed surface-passivated sub-micron copper powder with 12-month shelf stability under standard conditions.

Results
Conductivity improved by 18%

Industrial Coatings Supplier

Coatings — Anti-Corrosion
Challenge

Zinc-rich primer coatings lacked uniform coverage and had poor adhesion on steel substrates.

Solution

Provided lamellar zinc powder with optimized aspect ratio for improved flake alignment and barrier protection.

Results
Salt spray resistance increased by 50%

Aerospace Component Maker

Additive Manufacturing — 3D Printing
Challenge

Required gas-atomized aluminum alloy powder with high sphericity and low oxygen content for SLM printing.

Solution

Supplied AlSi10Mg powder via vacuum gas atomization with D50 of 30 µm and oxygen content < 0.08%.

Results
Print density achieved 99.5%
