Globus Metal Powders

Custom PSD Cuts

At Globus Metal Powders, our custom Particle Size Distribution (PSD) cuts service allows customers to receive powders precisely tailored to their process requirements. By controlling particle size, morphology, and distribution, we ensure that each batch of powder delivers optimal flow, packing density, and performance for a wide range of applications, including additive manufacturing (AM), powder metallurgy (PM), and thermal spray processes. 

Using advanced air classification, sieving, and screening technology, GMP® separates powders into tightly defined size fractions, meeting exact customer specifications. Every cut is rigorously monitored for PSD accuracy, apparent and tap density, flowability, oxygen content, and particle shape, ensuring the resulting powder is fully compatible with downstream processes such as PM-HIP consolidation, Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) and thermal spray deposition. 

Benefits to Manufacturers

Custom PSD cuts provide significant advantages for manufacturers: 
  • Definable packing density in powder metallurgy, ensuring predictable and repeatable densification. 
  • Optimised powder flow and layer deposition in additive manufacturing, improving build consistency and reducing defects. 
  • Controlled particle size for thermal spray or hardfacing, enhancing coating density, adhesion, and surface finish. 
  • Reduced material waste, by reclaiming and reprocessing off-spec fractions into usable PSD cuts. 

Each PSD cut is handled under tightly controlled conditions, with dedicated cleaning and segregation protocols to minimise the risk of cross-contamination between alloys. Globus provides full batch documentation and traceability, giving customers confidence that the powder meets all critical specifications and regulatory requirements. 

Benefits to Manufacturers

Who would benefit?

Our custom PSD cuts service is ideal for R&D teams, alloy developers, and production manufacturers who require finely tuned powder fractions for specific applications or experimental builds. Whether for prototype trials or production-scale runs, Globus Metal Powders’ products ensure reliable, repeatable performance, enabling customers to optimise mechanical properties, microstructural uniformity, and process efficiency in their final components.

From aerospace and defence to energy, oil & gas, and marine applications, GMP’s PSD-cut powders help manufacturers achieve high-performance, defect-free parts with superior flow, packing, and process reliability, supporting innovation across the most demanding industrial sectors.
