Sanyo produce high-purity metal powders with low oxygen levels by using a combination of
vacuum melting and inert gas atomization.

Sanyo can satisfy individual customer requirements for production volumes from small-lot (a few
kg) trial to mass production up to a few ton levels.

By applying high-purity spherical metal powders with low oxygen which are made by vacuum
melting and inert gas atomization as for 3D printing, there are the following advantages.
① Gas release during molding is small, and it is possible to maximize the material properties of
each alloy.
② Excellent flowability and high powder supply performance.

Using a small-sized atomizer, we can cooperate the development of new alloy components
suitable for 3D printers.
