M-tec Powder SA is excited to announce a significant expansion in its aluminium powder production capabilities, reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. This latest development introduces a new production option, enabling M-tec Powder SA to cater to the diverse needs of its clients with greater precision and variety.
Introducing mechanically produced aluminium powder
In addition to its renowned atomised aluminium powder, M-tec Powder SA now proudly offers mechanically produced aluminium powder. This new production method complements the company’s existing offering, providing customers with options tailored to their specific application requirements.
Understanding the differences
Atomised aluminium powder, long considered the gold standard in the industry, is known for its uniform particle size and high purity. Produced through a process that involves the rapid cooling of molten aluminium, atomised powder is highly valued for applications requiring precise particle distribution and consistency. This type of powder is particularly well-suited for industries such as aerospace, automotive, and additive manufacturing, where performance and reliability are paramount.

Conversely, mechanically produced aluminium powder offers unique properties that make it an attractive alternative for various applications. This production method involves mechanical milling, which creates powders with distinct characteristics, including different particle shapes and sizes. Mechanically produced powder can be particularly beneficial for applications that require specific physical properties, such as enhanced surface area or different flow characteristics.
Benefits of enhanced production capabilities
With the addition of mechanically produced aluminium powder to its product line, M-tec Powder SA is now better positioned to tailor its offerings to the specific needs of its customers. Some of the key benefits include:
Versatility: By providing both atomised and mechanically produced powders, M-tec Powder SA offers solutions that cater to a wide range of industrial applications, from high-precision manufacturing processes to applications that benefit from unique powder characteristics.
Customisation: The expanded production capabilities allow M-tec Powder SA to work closely with customers to develop custom aluminium powder solutions that meet their exact specifications, ensuring optimal performance in their specific applications.
Enhanced performance: Depending on the application, the choice between atomised and mechanically produced powder can significantly impact the performance and efficiency of the end product. M-tec Powder SA’s diverse offerings ensure that customers can select the best option for their needs.
Innovation and investment
