At Globus Metal Powders, achieving ultra-low oxygen levels isn’t just a manufacturing target – it’s a defining standard of quality. We specialise in producing high-purity, gas-atomised metal powders with exceptionally low oxygen content, optimised for Powder Metallurgy Hot Isostatic Pressing (PM-HIP), additive manufacturing (AM), and high added value powder metallurgy processes.
In metal powders, oxygen content directly affects oxide inclusion formation and consolidation efficiency. Even minor oxygen variations can create oxide films or internal voids during HIP consolidation or additive build processes, leading to reduced ductility, creep strength, and fatigue resistance.
By maintaining ultra-low oxygen levels, Globus ensures that consolidated parts achieve near-theoretical density with clean, homogenous microstructures. This results in superior mechanical strength, fracture toughness, and fatigue properties, essential for demanding service conditions found in aerospace turbine components, energy systems, and medical implants.
Our powders deliver measurable improvements in:
While many producers claim low oxygen levels, Globus Metal Powders goes further by integrating oxygen control into every stage of production and handling. From process preparation, inert gas atomisation through powder transfer systems, our processes are engineered to prevent re-oxidation and cross-contamination.
Our dedicated alloy production systems ensure that each material grade, whether nickel-based superalloys, low alloy and stainless steels or cobalt chrome alloys, is handled in a controlled environment optimised for its chemistry. This not only prevents contamination from dissimilar materials but also maintains precise chemical composition stability across production runs.
We employ real-time analytical monitoring, including oxygen analysers, to validate each batch before packaging. The result is a level of chemical and microstructural consistency that enables our customers to achieve tighter process control, improved yield, and greater repeatability in their downstream operations.
Globus Metal Powders is trusted by global leaders in aerospace, energy, and oil & gas for our uncompromising approach to purity, control, and traceability. Every powder batch is produced, analysed, and certified to stringent specifications, ensuring it performs exactly as designed in the most demanding environments.
By choosing Globus, customers gain more than just powder – they gain a technical partner committed to optimising performance across every stage of powder metallurgy and HIP processing. Our ultra-low oxygen metal powders deliver measurable improvements in density, strength, reliability, and surface quality, driving efficiency and reducing risk in high-value component production.
Whether you require ultra-low oxygen grades, bespoke particle size distributions or high-volume supply, our team is ready to support your requirements.
