What your process engineer actually checks
Locked, traceable lot chemistry
A COA on request documents PSD, sphericity, flow rate, apparent density, and full chemistry — and a lot number you can trace.
A materials engineer on the line
Questions on ferrite content, flowability, recyclate ratios, or HIP response? A materials engineer answers directly — not a contact-form bot. NDA standard.
CNPC Powder · Scalmalloy® · LPBF metal powder
CNPC Scalmalloy® — the high-strength aluminium-magnesium-scandium alloy for 3D printing developed by APWORKS (Airbus Group) — high strength and crack resistance at low density, corrosion-resistant and anodizable. Sold by Additive Plus in 10 kg containers at a published price.
Made by CNPC Powder. High-strength aluminium alloy powder from CNPC Powder’s own atomization plant in Fengyang, China. CNPC is ISO 9001 certified, a member of MPIF and EPMA, and exports metal powders to more than 40 countries.
