PyroGenesis receives first Ti-6Al-4V order from European AM firm
PyroGenesis Inc, headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, has announced that it is now contracted to provide Ti‑6Al‑4V powder produced by the NexGen plasma atomisation process to an undisclosed European engineering and science firm specialising in Additive Manufacturing.
This ‘coarse’ powder cut ordered was recently added to a major global aerospace company’s approved list of metal powders.
The undisclosed client had previously received and tested samples of PyroGenesis’ metal powder; this latest contract marks the first commercial order with this customer. The company noted that the powder has already been produced and will be shipped to the customer over the next few weeks.
“This initial order comes after a successful review and testing process with this European customer. The high standard of Ti64 metal powder produced at PyroGenesis Additive is the result of years of groundbreaking design and engineering work that went into developing our NexGen plasma atomisation process, and the commercial results of these efforts are starting to appear,” said P Peter Pascali, president and CEO of PyroGenesis.
“This customer is a key technology hub for their region, with state-of-the-art engineering and R&D. We hope to see further contracts that reflect the importance of the customer’s role within the industry.”
