As a world class manufacturer of metallic powders used as plastic additives and fillers, we engineer alloyed stainless steel powders in fine and coarse mesh sizes. Our metal additives are uniquely suited for critical plastic and advanced polymer compounding applications. Products and Sizes We offer several different alloys and sizes of material specifically tailored for polymer compounding. Grades: Our metallurgists and engineers have worked to develop our polymer filler compounding products from 316L, 304L, 430L, and 410L alloys. Sizes: The above grades are typically offered in fine sizes and with surface areas suited to suspension in a variety of polymers. Our Plastic Compounding Fine Powder has a particle size approximately 30 microns.

Our high-quality stainless steel flake products are used for high-performance protective paints and industrial coating applications. Produced from our own 316L stainless steel powder, the flake offers numerous benefits for paint additive applications: Corrosion resistance; resistance to alkaline cleaners and detergents Abrasion resistance High specular reflectance Paint Additive Applications Maintenance Coatings: Corrosion protection for equipment exposed to hostile elements and food processing or pharmaceutical plants. Powder Coatings: Automotive trim, wheels, suspension, and under the hood parts (particularly motorsports). Outdoor furniture and bicycles. Architectural Coatings: Gives a metallic look to masonry and exposed metal. Cookware Coatings: Promotes abrasion resistance and heat transfer in non-stick coatings.

AMETEK Specialty Metal Products is committed to meeting the demands of Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) for mass-production of industrial components. We engineer economic AM powder of mainstream stainless steel, nickel, and cobalt alloys for non-rotor-grade components made by Laser Powder Bed, Binder Jet, and Cold Spray processes. Alloys As a leader in metal powder production for additive manufacturing, we offer several different alloys and size distributions specifically tailored for different additive manufacturing processes and machines. The most common additive manufacturing powder materials produced include: 316L (including A240 grade) 304L 17-4PH® We also offer specialty austenitic and ferritic stainless steels, as well as a selection of nickel and cobalt alloy powders for 3D printing.

AMETEK stainless steel flake is manufactured from premium quality 316L stainless steel raw materials. We employ a unique milling process in our dedicated and proprietary batch production area to produce a flattened 316L particle that makes a “leaf” product or flake. As we produce the raw material in-house, our input material is abundant and controlled to the highest quality.

Stainless steel powder 316L offers the highest degree of corrosion protection that is available in a standard P/M stainless steel grade. It provides very good strength at extremely high temperatures. AMETEK’s 316 grade stainless steel powder includes many fully customized powder specifications by varying lubricant type, content and particle size. We manufacture high quality 316L powders to fit your applications. 316L stainless steel powders are used in stainless steel flakes and are also used for paint additive manufacturing and chemical filtration. The 300 Series Powders are austenitic stainless steels typically used for powdered metallurgy (P/M) press and sinter applications to make near net shape parts for a variety of industrial applications.

AMETEK offers a range of wear resistant tool steel powers used in P/M, MIM, and metal additive manufacturing. Tool steels use a combination of C, Cr, Mo, V, and W in an Fe based alloy to generate a carbide microstructure in the metal alloy. Powder Metallurgy (P/M) tool steels offer the highest grade of performance, especially in respect to toughness, due to the extremely fine and uniform distribution of carbides resulting from the atomization process. AMETEK offers multiple grades in the M, D, and T series of tool steels including M3-5, D-2, and T-15 among others. Each tool steel is optimized for its respective purpose to give exceptional properties. Some tool steels, such as our premium T-15 grade, can result in hardness near 70 HRC when appropriately processed and heat treated. Materials that have been routinely produced include M-2, M3-2, M3-5, M4-2, D2, and T15.
