Powders

Company OverviewLPW Technology has been pioneering the use of laser deposition solutions since 2007 and in that time hasworked with some of the leading industry organisations and academics in the field. This combined knowledgeand experience together continues to develop innovative processes and turn concepts into reality.

LPW was originally established to provide application support and powders to users of Laser Deposition andPowder Bed Additive Metal Manufacture machines. This is still our core knowledge. However, at the request ofour clients, we have developed a complete range of optimised metal powders to deliver a fully dependable,quality product, at an affordable price.

Our objective is to maintain the high standards of quality and service our customers have come to expect. Wehave assembled a comprehensive range of equipment to size, blend, package, and characterise our powders.

LPW’s growth strategy is simple; we continue to align the company around one mission: to deliver the bestcustomer service possible. Our goal is for LPW to be the leading metal powder supplier in the AdditiveManufacturing Industry.

To continue to lead this development of new and better powders for Additive Manufacturing, LPW reinvests 10%of our annual turnover in Research & Development. This investment varies from developing new alloys and newways to characterise metal powders, to improving packaging and environmental sustainability.

As we grow as a company, it has become more and more important to integrate the core values from which wedevelop our culture, our brand, and our business strategies. We believe we have responsibility to supporteducation and charities. We fund a number of PhD projects that will help develop the next generation of engineersfor Additive Technology, and are committed to dedicating 5% of our annual profit to local and national charities.

Metal PowdersLPW has developed an optimised range of metal powders specifically for Selective Laser Melting (SLM), LaserMetal Deposition (LMD) and Electron Beam Melting (EBM).

To take additive manufacturing from rapid prototyping to rapid manufacture the powder supply chain must berevolutionised. LPW is at the forefront of this change. Standard powders are supplied from stock, adding valuethrough excellent service and quality products that offer our customers fast delivery and cost effective solutions.Our objective is to help the industrial user control their material costs, increase the range of alloys available andensure quality and traceability meet the requirements of aerospace and medical component manufacturers.

We offer a complete range of Aluminium, Cobalt, Nickel, Steel, Titanium and Tungsten Carbide alloy powders. ForSLM and EBM we recommend gas or plasma atomised powders. For LMD we recommend gas, centrifugal, orplasma atomised powders. Our powders are optimised for the machines of all of the major manufacturers.

LPW’s focus is you – the customer. We will work with you to select the powder most suitable for your application -balancing method of manufacture, powder specification, quality, and cost. However, on request novel sizes andchemistries can be offered to satisfy your requirements. Custom alloys can be provided by the customer ordeveloped in association with LPW’s technical team. Quality is ensured by strictly adhering to AS 9120, AS 9100,ISO 9001 & ISO 13485 certified procedures.

Technical Considerations• All powder is supplied with a certificate of conformance that contains test data for chemistry and sizing. Allchemical data is generated at an independent ISO 17025 certified laboratory.

• In addition to certificates of conformance, we can offer enhanced testing reports. Internal characterisationincludes Hall Flow, Angle of Repose, Tap Density, Apparent Density, morphology by Scanning ElectronMicroscopy, entrapped porosity by Scanning Electron or Optical Microscopy, Laser Size Diffraction, SieveAnalysis, and moisture determination by Thermogravitational Analysis. External characterisation includeschemical composition by an NADCAP certified laboratory and flow by Rheology.

• As standard, powders are packaged in HDPE containers chosen for robustness and resistance to moistureingress. SLM and EBM powders are packed with silica gel sachets. Titanium alloys are packed under Argon;all other alloys are packed under normal air atmosphere. If requested, we can pack any material under Argon.
