Continuum Powders adds CuNi 70/30 powders for marine, energy and industrial sectors
Continuum Powders, based in Houston, Texas, USA, announced that it has expanded its alloy portfolio with the commercial availability of copper-nickel CuNi 70/30 powders, engineered for demanding marine, energy and industrial applications.
The company’s new OptiPowder C715 and OptiPowder C964 alloys are said to deliver exceptional resistance to seawater corrosion, stress-corrosion cracking, and high-velocity erosion, while maintaining strong thermal and electrical conductivity and stable mechanical performance across wide temperature ranges.
“Continuum’s primary mission is to provide customers with reliable, high-performance powders,” stated Rob Higby, CEO of Continuum Powders. “With the addition of C715 and C964, engineers working in marine, energy, and industrial sectors now have access to copper-nickel powders that combine exceptional corrosion resistance with the consistency required for production-grade additive manufacturing.”

Produced using the company’s proprietary Greyhound Melt-to-Powder (M2P) atomisation technlogy, which transforms reclaimed aerospace-grade metal into high-purity, spherical powder with consistent flowability and morphology. As part of the company’s OptiVantage quality framework, each powder undergoes rigorous chemical and physical characterisation to support repeatable performance in serial production environments.
These powders are suitable for repeatable performance in serial production environments and optimised for technologies such as Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB), Binder Jetting (BJT), Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP), Directed Energy Deposition (DED) and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM).
OptiPowder C715 and OptiPowder C964 powders are available in multiple particle size distributions, including custom cuts.
