Spherical Powders
1. High-Entropy Alloy Spherical Powders
CoCrFeNiMn · CoCrFeNi · AlCoCrFeNi · AlCoCrFeNiTi · CoCrFeNiMo · CoCrNi-based HEAs
High-entropy alloys (HEAs), broadly included within the family of multi-principal-element alloys, use multiple principal elements as the basis of alloy design. This approach creates a large compositional and microstructural design space in which different combinations of strength, ductility, toughness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and functional properties can be developed.
Because HEA properties are strongly dependent on composition, phase constitution and processing history, we do not present all HEAs as having one universal performance profile. Instead, individual alloy systems can be selected according to the required property combination and manufacturing process.

2. Refractory Metal & Alloy Spherical Powders
Mo · Ta · Nb · Re · Zr · V · Ti
TZM · Mo-Ti · Mo-Re · Ta-based · Nb-Ti · Nb-Zr
Refractory metal and alloy powders are intended for applications requiring combinations of high-temperature capability, high melting temperature, thermal stability and specialized mechanical or physical properties.
The performance of each material is highly composition-dependent. Molybdenum and its alloys, for example, are used in high-temperature and thermal-management applications, while tantalum and niobium are important in selected chemical, electronic and high-temperature environments. TZM is a molybdenum-based alloy developed for improved high-temperature mechanical performance compared with unalloyed molybdenum.
A strict scientific definition of “refractory metals” is not completely uniform across the literature. We therefore use Refractory Metal & Alloy as the product-category designation for this portfolio rather than making a universal classification claim for every element listed.
