Amaero secures AU$7.8 million titanium powder order
Amaero Ltd, McDonald, Tennessee, USA, has entered a Master Purchasing Agreement that includes a Purchase Order for titanium alloy powders with a value of AU$7.8 million.
With an increase in installations of Additive Manufacturing equipment, Amaero is reportedly experiencing strong demand for titanium alloy powders. The demand is driven by accelerating adoption of Additive Manufacturing across defence, aerospace, medical, consumer and civilian firearms markets. Powder demand for Laser Beam Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) is focused on mature, high-production-rate gas- and plasma-atomised powder technologies.
With two advanced EIGA Premium atomisers commissioned and a third expected to be commissioned in June, Amaero states that it has commissioned the largest-capacity and the lowest-unit-cost US domestic production of refractory and titanium alloy spherical powders.
Defence, space and nuclear applications are also driving demand for refractory alloy spherical powders. Amaero has orders in the current quarter to atomise five different high-value refractory alloys.
Hank J Holland, Amaero’s Chairman and CEO, commented, “Commercial activity across both segments of Amaero’s business is strong. We are excited to secure a contract for titanium powder shipments in FY2027 that approximates total titanium powder sales in FY2026. We have been advancing numerous titanium powder opportunities over the past 6-12 months with several opportunities potentially exceeding 100 tonnes of annual demand. We are also advancing a strategic contract for refractory powder development that we expect to finalise by the end of the fiscal year. Finally, strong momentum in PM-HIP manufacturing and notable progress toward production contracts continues. We are excited to finish FY2026 with strong performance and expect to enter FY2027 with strong bookings and revenue visibility.”
