WARSAW, Poland, Jul 18, 2025 – AMAZEMET, a company advancing research and development in materials science and additive manufacturing, today announced the official launch of its new business line: Atomization Service. This on-demand service is designed to provide researchers with cost-effective, small-batch production of high-quality, custom metal powders.
“We saw a clear challenge in materials innovation. Researchers with brilliant ideas were being held back by prohibitive costs and the inability to procure small, experimental batches of high-quality spherical powders. Our new service directly removes that barrier, enabling faster discovery and development.” said Dr Łukasz Żrodowski, CEO of AMAZEMET.
The development of new materials for Powder Metallurgy technologies, especially for Additive Manufacturing (AM), is a complex and expensive process, demanding powders with exceptional qualities such as sphericity, flowability, lack of satellites, narrow particle size distribution (PSD), and low oxygen content.
Conventional atomization methods, such as gas or plasma atomization, have limited efficiency in the given powder size range, like 15-63 µm. Optimized for large-scale production, these techniques require minimum feedstock quantities of tens of kilograms, which makes them economically impractical and inefficient for the small, experimental batches needed in R&D. The challenge is even bigger when developing next-generation alloys that incorporate high-value elements like Scandium, Hafnium, or Rhenium, where material costs can exceed €1,000 per kilogram.
AMAZEMET’s ultrasonic atomization service directly addresses this challenge, providing a cost-effective and highly efficient alternative that enables researchers to rapidly and economically explore innovative compositions.
New Atomization Service by AMAZEMET includes:
- Low Barrier to Entry: Budgets starting from €1,000 and minimum material quantities of just 50 grams, making novel alloy development highly accessible.
- High Process Efficiency: Up to 80% of the feedstock is converted into powder within the target particle size distribution , maximizing the use of valuable materials.
- Advanced Material Capability: Expertise in processing highly reactive and high-temperature materials, including magnesium, titanium, rare earth elements (like Gadolinium), and refractory alloys.
- Unique Recycling Options: A novel Powder2Powder™ Technology to re-atomize used or out-of-spec powders, combined with the ability to atomize bulk scrap—such as broken samples or mechanical testing pieces—directly into powder without preprocessing.
- Pre-Alloying Service: In-house arc-melting to create and homogenize custom alloys before atomization, ensuring compositional accuracy.
- Multi-Material Orders: The ability to process several different materials within a single order at no additional cost, providing maximum flexibility for research projects.
In a significant move toward research collaboration, AMAZEMET commits to full transparency by sharing all relevant processing parameters with the client. The company’s application team, consisting of materials science experts (PhDs and PhD candidates), will also provide support in preparing research papers.
Ultrasonic atomization is the key technology to speed up the development of new alloys for AM technologies. Thanks to AMAZEMET Atomization Services, access to new spherical powder alloys with tailored chemical composition is easier than ever before.
